 IN HONOR OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF PLAINFIELD'S 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF 
                            RICHMOND TOWERS

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 9, 2005

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise to 
recognize the longevity of the Richmond Towers in Plainfield, New 
Jersey.
  This September, the Housing Authority of Plainfield will celebrate 
the 30th Anniversary of the Richmond Towers, a 225 unit senior citizen 
complex developed to serve seniors within the Plainfield area. This 
building is a testament to the successes of the U.S. Department of 
Housing and Urban Development, which funded this project that helped to 
house thousands of residents in the Plainfield community.
  Today I feel fortunate to stand here and announce that two agencies, 
one at the Federal level and one at the state, have not only followed 
through with their goals, but exceeded them. The Housing Authority has 
been invaluable to the senior citizens of Plainfield and I am confident 
that it will continue to be for the next 30 years as well.

                          ____________________
