                      Wednesday, February 1, 2017

  Ms. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Otto Construction 
as they celebrate their 70th Anniversary. As the community and members 
of Otto Construction gather today, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
honoring them and their long history of service to the Sacramento 
region and beyond.
  A three generation family-owned business, Otto Construction was 
founded in 1947 by John F. Otto. When he opened Otto Construction, it 
was with the core values of honesty, integrity, and compassion. He 
strived to provide the best service to their customers delivering 
quality projects while maintaining high standards at a competitive 
price. When John's son, Carl Otto, joined the family business in 1971, 
he brought his commitment to civic duty and community involvement to 
the organization which helped intertwine their business and the 
Sacramento community to create a larger foot print. Joining the company 
in 2000, Allison Otto represents the third generation. Allison's focus 
is in the marketing department, carrying the same commitment to our 
community as her grandfather and father.
  Otto Construction has helped build the Sacramento community, not just 
with the projects they have done, such as historical renovations, 
building community centers and hospital buildings, but with the impact 
they have had throughout their charitable work. Otto Construction has 
partnered with the Society for the Blind, Sacramento Food Bank & Family 
Services, Eskaton Foundation and Sacramento SPCA, with many of their 
employees serving on the boards of nonprofits. A few notable projects 
include the Powerhouse Science Center, the California Lottery 
Headquarters, Bonney Field, the restoration of the Julia Morgan House, 
and Shriner's Hospital.
  Mr. Speaker, as the family and members of Otto Construction celebrate 
their 70 years of service to the Sacramento region and beyond, I ask 
all my colleagues to join me in honoring them for their dedication to 
their community through their business practices and charitable work 
that have made them so successful throughout the years.
