                        Thursday, April 15, 2010

  Mr. SHUSTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the mission and 
accomplishments of the Chambersburg Area Development Corporation. CADC 
will celebrate its 50th anniversary at its annual meeting on May 7, 
2010.
  Since 1960, the Chambersburg Area Development Corporation has worked 
to advance the general interest of the Chambersburg area, specially the 
economic health and quality of life. Recognizing Chambersburg's 
valuable resources and location, a group of local leaders, coupled with 
businessmen and women decided to raise funds for a not-for-profit 
industrial development corporation. From these beginnings, CADC has 
been successful in promoting economic vitality in the area. Together 
with businesses, CADC works to bring and retain major employers in the 
area. Working with other community organizations, CADC has participated 
in the revitalization of downtown Chambersburg. Among the beneficiaries 
of CADC's resources are the Chambersburg Memorial YMCA, the Grove 
Family Library, and the historic Capitol Theatre, as well as several 
community celebrations. All together, CADC is linked to nearly 2,900 
jobs and about $3 million in wage and property tax revenues annually, 
as well as invaluable contributions to the Chambersburg area's quality 
of life.
  Over its 50-year history, the Chambersburg Area Development 
Corporation has been an essential player in advancing the commercial, 
industrial, civic and general interests of the Chambersburg area. The 
whole region benefits from its commitment to a business-friendly 
climate and an improving quality of life. I commend the Chambersburg 
Area Development Corporation on its work over the past 50 years and 
anticipate many more accomplishments in its future.
