      HONORING LPL FINANCIAL ON THEIR NEW CAMPUS IN FORT MILL, SC

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 30, 2016

  Mr. MULVANEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize LPL Financial 
and celebrate the grand opening of their new campus in my district in 
Fort Mill, South Carolina.
   I have had the privilege to work with employees of LPL Financial 
through my service on the House Financial Services Committee. LPL 
Financial is the largest independent broker-dealer in the United 
States, with more than 14,000 financial advisors and approximately $500 
billion in assets. Through their advisors, LPL Financial helps my 
constituents and those across the country save to meet their financial 
goals, such as retirement or college, through investments in stocks, 
bonds, mutual funds and insurance.
   Today, LPL Financial is celebrating the grand opening of their new 
campus in my district. I am sorry that I am not able to be at the 
ceremony in Fort Mill, but I have visited the new location and it is 
indeed impressive. It is a state of the art facility and incorporates 
sustainable design strategies to have minimal environmental impact. The 
campus will provide its employees with access to nature trails and 
proximity to retail shopping and restaurants. Onsite they included a 
health clinic and gym. I know that with this campus, LPL Financial has 
made a significant commitment to work-life balance and quality for its 
employees.
   The new campus hosts more than 1,400 current LPL Financial 
employees, and the company has shared that this Fort Mill location will 
be the center for its continued growth and long-term expansion.
   I am honored that LPL Financial selected my district and our state, 
and I am excited about the numerous opportunities this relocation will 
bring to South Carolina in the form of jobs and economic growth. I 
warmly welcome LPL Financial and all of its employees to South Carolina 
and wish them every success at this new location.
