                       Tuesday, February 25, 2014

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize 
Florida Business Development Corporation for their contributions to the 
Central Florida business community.
  Organized in 1989, Florida Business Development Corporation has grown 
to be the second most active Certified Development Company in the 
United States. The company works with private lenders to provide 
businesses with long-term, affordable financing that allows them to 
grow more quickly. Florida Business Development Corporation recently 
constructed a new building to accommodate its expansion, creating new 
employment opportunities for local residents and strengthening the 
economy.
  Business development is essential to growing local economies and 
keeping hard-working Floridians employed. I commend Florida Business 
Development Corporation for their work to assist healthy, growing small 
businesses in Central Florida, and I wish them continued success.
