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 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 prepare for a dynamic and prosperous future; now,
therefore, be it
