WHEREAS, Civic and business leaders of the Coastal Bend are |
|
|
gathering in Austin on February 27, 2019, to celebrate the many |
|
|
qualities that make their region one of the state's premier |
|
|
vacation destinations; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Each year, the Coastal Bend draws millions of |
|
|
travelers from across the country and around the globe; visitors to |
|
|
Corpus Christi alone infuse more than $1 billion into the local |
|
|
economy and support tens of thousands of jobs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Port of Corpus Christi is one of the largest |
|
|
ports in the country by tonnage, and it holds the distinct honor of |
|
|
exporting the first barrel of U.S. crude in 40 years; it is also a |
|
|
strategically significant port for the United States military, as |
|
|
the Coastal Bend is home to Naval Air Stations Corpus Christi and |
|
|
Kingsville and the Corpus Christi Army Depot; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The myriad popular attractions in the area include |
|
|
the Padre Island National Seashore, the Texas State Aquarium, and |
|
|
the South Texas Botanical Gardens & Nature Center, with its 182 |
|
|
acres of tropical flowers, butterflies, and parrots; in addition, |
|
|
visitors enjoy such cultural and educational venues as the Art |
|
|
Museum of South Texas, the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and |
|
|
History, and the USS Lexington aircraft carrier; Corpus Christi |
|
|
also hosts the world-renowned Fiesta de la Flor in honor of the life |
|
|
and legacy of Selena Quintanilla Pérez; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Coastal Bend area contributes significantly to |
|
|
the vibrancy and prosperity of the Lone Star State, and its |
|
|
residents may indeed take pride in the rich heritage and natural |
|
|
beauty that bring so many visitors to their communities; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 27, 2019, as Coastal Bend Day |
|
|
at the State Capitol and extend to the region's delegation sincere |
|
|
best wishes for a meaningful and memorable event. |
