                         HON. BARBARA COMSTOCK

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 27, 2017

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize a local 
business in Virginia's 10th Congressional District that will be 
significantly expanding its already extensive operations. On June 27, 
2017, Unanet, a preeminent and innovative organization in the software 
industry, will open a new headquarters in Loudoun County, in the heart 
of my district. Unanet plans to make significant financial investment 
in this new operation as part of their expansion, which will result in 
a larger facility and will enable the organization to create new local 
jobs in the next few years.
  Founded in 1998, by the present Chief Executive Officer, Fran Craig, 
Unanet has continued to prosper since its inception, as the 
organization has increased its revenue by about 20 percent per year 
over the past decade. Today, Unanet is one of our region's premier 
software companies and a leading provider of Cloud and On-Premise 
software for project-based organizations. Unanet currently serves over 
1,000 organizations nationwide, including many government contractors 
located in the Washington D.C. metropolitan region.
  While Unanet has been an economic catalyst for the Washington D.C. 
area as a whole, the organization, headquartered in Loudoun since 2003, 
has deep roots in Loudoun County and has played an integral role in the 
development and success of the county's nascent technology industry. In 
addition to their plethora of economic contributions, the organization 
has also done extensive philanthropic work in our community and been 
firmly committed to supporting local charities, including Loudoun 
Hunger Relief, Loudoun Education Foundation, Loudoun Laurels 
Foundation, and Loudoun Cares.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in applauding Unanet for 
their entrepreneurial achievements and for their numerous contributions 
to our local economy. I wish Unanet all the best as they celebrate this 
major expansion. I look forward to seeing their continued success and 
am thankful for the plethora of occupations and other opportunities 
they will provide my constituents.
