SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 260
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
welcome the visiting delegation from Pearland on the occasion of |
|
Pearland Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The City of Pearland was established in 1893 and |
|
named for the many fruit trees that grew in the area; hurricanes |
|
and other harsh weather made agricultural life difficult in the |
|
initial decades of the city's history, but the city began to |
|
thrive after oil and gas were discovered in 1934; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Today, the city boasts a flourishing economy and |
|
an effective school system; the local chamber of commerce works |
|
diligently to continue the city's course of successful development |
|
and helps to keep the citizenry informed on matters that affect |
|
the community; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Residents of Pearland enjoy the benefit of |
|
proximity to Houston and Galveston attractions while cherishing |
|
the unique charm of their beloved community, which was recognized |
|
by the National Civic League in 1999 as an All-America City; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Pearland is an outstanding place in which to live, |
|
work, and raise a family, and citizens can indeed take pride in |
|
the place they call home; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th |
|
Legislature, hereby recognize February 25, 2015, as Pearland Day |
|
at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation best |
|
wishes for a memorable day in Austin; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in |
|
honor of this special occasion. |
