WHEREAS, Members of Preservation Texas are gathering in |
|
Austin on March 19, 2015, in celebration of Preservation Texas Day |
|
at the State Capitol; and |
|
WHEREAS, Founded in 1985, Preservation Texas advocates for |
|
the state's historic resources, and it is dedicated to protecting |
|
our material and cultural heritage, including places, buildings, |
|
artifacts, and documents; and |
|
WHEREAS, This noteworthy organization also raises awareness |
|
of the enormous economic benefits of conserving vital connections |
|
to the past; a major industry, historic preservation creates jobs, |
|
including well-paying positions for skilled craftspeople, and |
|
encourages investment in smaller towns and in the historic |
|
districts of larger cities; heritage tourism increases revenue |
|
through higher property values as well as the collection of sales |
|
taxes and hotel-motel taxes, and in 2013, preservation activities |
|
in Texas generated more than $4.6 billion in state gross domestic |
|
product and sustained over 79,000 jobs; and |
|
WHEREAS, For three decades, Preservation Texas has united the |
|
efforts of individuals and organizations devoted to safeguarding a |
|
priceless heritage for future generations, and its endeavors have |
|
contributed immeasurably to the vibrancy and prosperity of the Lone |
|
Star State; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby recognize March 19, 2015, as Preservation Texas |
|
Day at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting organization |
|
members sincere best wishes for an informative and enjoyable stay |
|
in Austin. |
