R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, Proud citizens of Palmview are gathering in Austin
  on March 18, 2019, 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 and is now home to about 8,000 residents;
  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 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 infrastructure projects;
  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 86th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize March 18, 2019, as Palmview Day at the
  State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere best
  wishes for an enjoyable and productive stay in Austin.
