SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 261
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
welcome the proud citizens of Palmview who 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 traces its heritage to the town of Mamie,
which was established in 1904 as a stop along the Saint 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 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 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 establish a foundation for a dynamic and
prosperous future; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
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; and,
be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of this special occasion.
