  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the recent 
improvements made to the Historic Downtown Square and Pioneer Park of 
Carrollton, Texas. Downtown Carrollton has been an iconic part of 
northern Texas since the early 1800's.
  These improvements will give people improved space and new scenery to 
visit and enjoy leisurely time with friends and family. It is important 
to keep our parks and recreational areas updated to continue and expand 
their vital role in the community. These renovations will reinvigorate 
the Historic Downtown Square as well as Pioneer Park and make them 
alluring destinations for years to come.
  There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony on June 27th to officially 
unveil the new changes. City officials and local leaders will be in 
attendance to speak about the hard work and effort put into the new 
developments. I encourage everyone to attend and show support for the 
time and dedication put into this project. I'm thankful for the people 
of the 24th district of Texas who strive to make our home a more 
habitable and enjoyable place.
  At the unveiling will be a concert featuring local artists as well as 
an outdoor movie with the director's wife present to introduce the 
film. It is this strong sense of community that will serve the people 
of Carrollton and everyone who visits the historic downtown.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to recognize the ever improved Historic 
Downtown Square and Pioneer Park. I ask all of my distinguished 
colleagues to join me in celebrating such an accomplishment.
