H.R. No. 392

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Proud citizens of Palmview are gathering in Austin
	on February 9, 2015, to celebrate Palmview Day at the State Capitol;
	and
	WHEREAS, Located in southern Hidalgo County, in the Rio
	Grande Valley, Palmview can trace its heritage to the town of Mamie,
	which was established in 1904 as a stop along the St. Louis,
	Brownsville and Mexico Railway; in 1972, a group of local residents
	led a drive to create an autonomous community, and their efforts
	resulted in the establishment of the City of Palmview; and
	WHEREAS, In the years since, Palmview has experienced
	significant growth; it is now home to about 6,000 residents, a
	number that is expected to increase dramatically in the coming
	years; located at the crossroads of U.S. Highway 83 and Farm Road
	2061, the town is situated between the busy retail areas of central
	Hidalgo County and the slower-paced, yet growing Starr County to
	the west; and
	WHEREAS, Palmview's expansion has created a range of new
	business opportunities, and the city chamber of commerce is working
	with existing and prospective entrepreneurs to spur further
	economic activity; moreover, officials are devoted to enhancing
	services to benefit the town's growing population and, to that end,
	have cooperated with agencies such as the Texas Water Development
	Board and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to
	pursue new infrastructure projects; and
	WHEREAS, Like other border cities, Palmview faces a unique
	set of challenges, and it has gained widespread attention for its
	role in helping to maintain national security; and
	WHEREAS, The city's progress is driven by its committed,
	community-focused residents, who embody the town's slogan of
	"Palmview Proud"; their involvement plays an essential role in
	numerous initiatives, including the Parks and Recreation
	Department sports programs, which have registered more than 90
	teams, a rate of participation that exceeds that of much larger
	municipalities; and
	WHEREAS, Home to an engaged citizenry and city government,
	Palmview is building on its heritage of hard work and independence
	to prepare for a dynamic and prosperous future; now, therefore, be
	it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize February 9, 2015, as Palmview Day at
	the State Capitol and extend to the city's delegation sincere best
	wishes for an enjoyable and productive visit to Austin.
