                        Thursday, March 23, 2017

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Federal 
Express for winning the 2016 Business Recognition Award from the Jeffco 
EDC.
   Founded in 1965, Federal Express--or FedEx--is a leader in e-
commerce and business solutions. The company has air, ground and sea 
networks covering more than 220 countries and territories, linking more 
than 99 percent of the world's GDP.
   Recently, FedEx became the first company to locate to the Verve 
Innovation Park at the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (RMMA). The 
216,000 square foot build-to-suit distribution center occupies 26 acres 
and will bring more than $16 million in new capital investment and 144 
jobs to unincorporated Jefferson County.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Federal Express for this 
well-deserved recognition from the Jeffco EDC.
