                      Wednesday, December 6, 2006

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the city of 
Frisco and the Frisco Economic Development Corp. in the 26th District 
of Texas for receiving the Community Economic Development Award. The 
City of Frisco excels in bringing leadership, partnership, and 
creativity to the economy, and is the winner of the 40,000 to 100,000 
population category.
  The Texas Economic Development Council presents this prestigious 
award to member cities in recognition of exceptional contributions to 
their community. Superior projects in Frisco include the T-Mobile USA 
Technology Campus, DebtXS, Technisource, Inc., and the National Breast 
Cancer Foundation. These projects have created and maintained over 
1,600 jobs for the community, and brought new investments of nearly 
$64.2 million to the city of Frisco.
  I am proud to recognize the city of Frisco as recipients of the 2006 
Community Economic Development Award. Under the capable direction of 
Mayor Mike Simpson, City Manager George Purefoy, and the Economic 
Development Corp., the city of Frisco has cultivated a standard of 
excellence and leadership, and serves as a role model for all other 
communities.
