              IN HONOR OF THE VILLAGE OF BROOKLYN HEIGHTS

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 21, 2012

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the Village of 
Brooklyn Heights, Ohio. Since 1903, the Village of Brooklyn Heights has 
been an exemplary community within Northeast Ohio.
  Originally a part of Brooklyn Township, which was established in 
1818, Brooklyn Heights' residents seceded from the township to form 
their own village. On February 28, 1903, the Village of Brooklyn 
Heights was officially established.
  What was once an area of predominately farmland is now full of 
residential homes and interstate highways. Despite only comprising 1.8 
square miles of land, Brooklyn Heights is a desirable area for industry 
and for raising a family.
  Today, the Village of Brooklyn Heights is home to approximately 1,600 
residents who are led by Mayor Michael Procuk. There are six members on 
the Village Council: John Black, Bruce Cichocki, Michael D'Amico, 
Leslie Foote, Tom Lahiff, Jennifer Presot and Henry Stankiewicz.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honoring the Village of 
Brooklyn Heights and all of its residents.

                          ____________________
