SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 312
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 Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
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.
Hall, Estes
