   HONORING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CITY OF CORAL SPRING, FLORIDA

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. THEODORE E. DEUTCH

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 1, 2013

  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the 50th 
Anniversary of the great City of Coral Spring, Florida. Incorporated on 
July 10th, 1963, the City of Coral Springs has grown from little more 
than a patch of marshland in southern Florida into the 13th largest 
city in the state and the first state-level recipient of the Malcolm 
Baldrige National Quality Award. Today I recognize Coral Springs for 
its remarkable transformation from town with a single covered bridge to 
a city of more than 120,000 residents.
  Whether it be its top-rated public schools and city government, large 
and robust park and recreation system, myriad of shops, delicious 
restaurants and entertaining nightlife, Coral Springs truly has 
something for everyone. If you are looking to raise a family or are a 
young professional looking to enjoy one of the top 100 cities in the 
Nation for young people, the city's vibrant economy and high quality of 
living make Coral Springs a wonderful place to call home.
  I join today with my family in wishing Coral Springs many more years 
of prosperity. On the 50th Anniversary of its inception, I urge all 
cities across of this great country to follow Coral Spring's footsteps.
