                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 11, 2010

  Mr. HENSARLING. Madam Speaker, today I would like to recognize the 
community and city leaders of Terrell, Texas. Terrell has been 
recognized in the state and by national publications for planning 
excellence and innovative, sustainable city planning.
  Kaufman County is not only one of the fastest growing counties in the 
State of Texas, but also the entire country. In 2008, U.S. Census data 
showed a 44% increase in the county's population from 2000. The City of 
Terrell is currently home to about 18,952 people, but is expected to be 
home to over 50,000 new residents by 2025.
  I would like to recognize Mayor Hal Richards and the city council, as 
well as Terrell City Manager Torry Edwards and the city staff, for 
their efforts and contributions to ensure Kaufman County residents will 
have a community that is equipped to handle the growth in the years to 
come.
