[[Page E340]]

Top Micropolitan Community in the United States by Site Selection 
magazine, the official publication of the Global FDI Association and 
the Industrial Asset Management Council.
   The magazine ranked 576 of the nation's micropolitan areas, cities 
with populations ranging from 10,000 to 50,000 that cover at least one 
county. While Findlay has ranked well for many years, placing fourth in 
2013, this is the first time the city has topped the list.
   The City of Findlay has focused its efforts on economic development 
within the community, and this year's recognition is a testament to the 
collaboration among local, county and state leaders, the Findlay-
Hancock County Economic Development office and the city's community 
partners. Their efforts continue to make Findlay a great place to live, 
work, and raise a family. Findlay's future remains bright for the years 
to come.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the 
City of Findlay, Ohio, on being named the 2014 Top Micropolitan 
Community in the United States. I am extremely proud of the growth and 
investment that have occurred in Findlay over the past year, and am 
excited about the potential this development brings to the city's 
residents and businesses who are proud to call Findlay home.
