                      Wednesday, January 29, 2014

  Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
achievements of the Coweta County Board of Commissioners and to 
congratulate the members for receiving the 2013 Prosperity Award. This 
award--presented by the Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce--honors 
contributions the commissioners have made toward promoting prosperity 
in their community. Since 2007 this award has been presented in 
recognition of 30 different companies and organizations that have made 
a similar outstanding impact.
   The Coweta County Commissioners have demonstrated a clear and 
enduring commitment to protecting small businesses and encouraging 
economic growth--most recently through their decision to eliminate 
impact fees on development in the county. These commissioners are 
critical to the economic growth in their area and have shown a great 
lasting commitment to promote the prosperity and betterment of their 
community. I am proud to have the opportunity to stand before you today 
to highlight the achievements of my fellow Georgians and to 
congratulate them on earning the 2013 Prosperity Award.
   Mr. Speaker, I extend my thanks to the hard working people of the 
Coweta County Board for their leadership role in the community, and 
congratulate them on receiving the 2013 Prosperity Award.

                          ____________________
