H.R. No. 529
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Proud citizens of Palmview are gathering in Austin
on March 19, 2025, 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 89th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize March 19, 2025, as Palmview Day at the
State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere best
wishes for an enjoyable stay in Austin.
