SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 551
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Texas Senate is pleased to join the citizens |
|
|
of the town of Sunnyvale in celebrating April 11, 2019, as |
|
|
Sunnyvale Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Located 15 miles east of downtown Dallas, |
|
|
Sunnyvale is 16 square miles of rolling plains offering the |
|
|
convenience of city life amenities along with the quaint charm |
|
|
and relaxed pace of country living; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The town dates back to the mid-19th century, when |
|
|
homesteaders settled the Long Creek Hamlet; nearby New Hope later |
|
|
became a center of rural commerce when a store was built there in |
|
|
1885; these two communities, along with Hattersville and Tripp, |
|
|
merged in 1953 to form Sunnyvale; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The town is bordered on the north, south, and west |
|
|
by larger suburbs and to the east by the serene waters of Lake Ray |
|
|
Hubbard, a 22,745-acre recreational reservoir; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Sunnyvale's population of more than 6,000 is |
|
|
increasing as new residential and commercial developments are |
|
|
completed; the town's unique position is sure to attract businesses |
|
|
and encourage investment opportunities in the future; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Sunnyvale Independent School District is an |
|
|
Exemplary school district with an A+ rating; its mission is to |
|
|
engage, equip, and empower all learners for lifelong success; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This quiet community with tree-lined streets and |
|
|
scenic wide-open spaces is an outstanding place to live, work, |
|
|
and raise a family, and its residents look forward to a bright |
|
|
future; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby recognize April 11, 2019, as Sunnyvale Day at |
|
|
the State Capitol and extend to the members of the visiting |
|
|
delegation sincere best wishes for a meaningful and memorable |
|
|
visit to Austin; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the town as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas Senate. |
