WHEREAS, Proud residents of Wylie are gathering in Austin on
March 3 and 4, 2015, to celebrate Wylie Days at the State Capitol;
and
WHEREAS, Wylie was organized in the early 1870s and
incorporated in 1887 with the arrival of the Gulf, Colorado, and
Santa Fe Railway; the city has grown immensely since its early days
on the Texas frontier, and it currently boasts a population of
nearly 45,000, almost triple the number reported in the 2000
census; and
WHEREAS, Today, the City of Wylie, Wylie Independent School
District, Wylie Chamber of Commerce, and Wylie Economic Development
Corporation are working in concert to build a strong community that
strives to honor the past, embrace the present, and plan for the
future, while valuing unity, relationships, and trust; and
WHEREAS, Recently called one of the best small cities in the
country in which to raise a family, Wylie fosters a spirit of
cooperation that leads to a thriving business environment and
outstanding schools; moreover, while it is one of the fastest
growing communities in the state, its crime rate decreased by five
percent in 2014, and Wylie Fire Rescue is one of only 13 departments
in the state to earn the highest Public Protection Classification
rating; and
WHEREAS, Celebrating their rich and colorful history as they
work together to build a bright future, the citizens of Wylie may
take justifiable pride in their hometown; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize March 3 and 4, 2015, as Wylie Days at
the State Capitol and extend sincere best wishes to the visiting
delegation for an informative and enjoyable stay in Austin.
