                        COMMUNITY OF IMLAY CITY

                                 ______


                          HON. DALE E. KILDEE

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 20, 1995

  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to ask my colleagues to join me in 
paying tribute to the citizens of Imlay City, MI, as they celebrate the 
official opening of their new city office building.
  In 1850 the Township of Imlay first was recognized by an act of the 
Michigan Legislature. As the area developed, it became apparent to the 
city officials that they must plan for the future, and therefore on 
April 14, 1872, Imlay City was incorporated. Since that time the 
population has grown from less than 500 to approximately 3,000 
residents.
  The first city office building was finished in 1904, the second was 
opened in 1975; this third facility is to be dedicated today, December 
20, 1995. Planning for this facility has been long in the works with 
the many and growing needs of the community taken into account in order 
that this new building will serve for many years to come. As planning 
began, the city commission and city manager were particularly concerned 
and committed to making sure that the building would be accessible to 
all their residents and be in compliance with the Americans with 
Disabilities Act.
  I stand before my colleagues today to compliment all the citizens of 
Imlay City on the opening of their new city office building that is 
dedicated to serving the needs of all the residents.
