  Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 60th 
anniversary of the incorporation of Hanover Park, Illinois.
   Hanover Park is a model for other cities and towns to follow through 
its continued dedication to building a friendly and welcoming community 
for residents and visitors alike. Located just 17 miles from O'Hare 
International Airport and 45 minutes from downtown Chicago, Hanover 
Park has thriving business parks, a growing retail community, and easy 
access to global markets.
   In the years since its first permanent settlers in 1874 and its 
incorporation in 1958, Hanover Park has become a center of culture and 
commerce. As a home to 80 nationalities and 30 spoken languages, it is 
a diverse village. Hanover Park is a great place to work, live, and

raise a family. The Village's police and fire departments are 
consistently recognized as two of the finest in the state and the local 
government is highly engaged and enthusiastic. The residents, families, 
businesses, professionals, churches and organizations have made Hanover 
Park a vibrant and thriving community.
   On the occasion of this 60th anniversary, we join together to 
celebrate Hanover Park's legacy of growth and prosperity and look ahead 
to the opportunities facing this great village and our nation. Today 
both marks 60 years of working together to build a brighter future and 
reminds us that our work continues.
  Mr. Speaker and Distinguished Colleagues, please join me in 
recognizing the 60th anniversary of the incorporation of Hanover Park, 
Illinois, and wishing its residents great success in the years ahead.
