  Ms. SANCHEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor one of the cities in my 
district. On January 28, Pico Rivera, California celebrates its 60th 
Anniversary. Pico Rivera is a thriving community nestled on the eastern 
edge of the Los Angeles basin. With over 120 acres dedicated to 
recreational space, and 100 acres of local parks, Pico Rivera offers 
residents a peaceful refuge from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles.
  Pico Rivera was officially incorporated in 1958 as the 61st city in 
Los Angeles County. Before the community evolved into a lively 
residential area, the historic communities were originally home to 
agricultural practice. Now, Pico Rivera is home to a vibrant industrial 
and

commercial community, attracting many businesses small and large.
  Pico Rivera has a rich history, and has continued to invest in the 
local community through projects such as the Passons Boulevard railroad 
underpass project, and the new Pico Rivera Library. These types of city 
projects make Pico Rivera a great place to live, work, and relax. I am 
honored to represent this city and its residents, and look forward to 
what the next 60 years have in store.
