SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 401
         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 United States 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
  United States 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 Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
  Legislature, hereby recognize March 18, 2019, 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.
