	WHEREAS, The city of Edinburg has been named the Most
	Affordable College Town in the United States by WalletHub; and

	and Cities in America, WalletHub conducted an extensive analysis of
	415 cities with college or university populations exceeding 7,500

	factors critical to students and residents alike, among them
	housing costs, monthly fitness club fees, and the average prices of

	also played a pivotal role in determining the final rankings; and
	WHEREAS, The city of Edinburg has worked with The University
	of Texas Rio Grande Valley to foster a vibrant community where
