H.R. No. 211
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Proud citizens of Palmview are gathering in Austin
  on March 1, 2023, 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 more than 15,800 residents;
  the community 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's municipal development
  district is working with entrepreneurs to spur further economic
  activity; moreover, officials are devoted to enhancing services to
  benefit the city'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 88th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize March 1, 2023, as Palmview Day at the
  State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere best
  wishes for an enjoyable and productive stay in Austin.
