                        Thursday, March 1, 2018

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
L.G. Everist, Inc. for receiving the 2018 Commerce City Business of the 
Year Award.
  The Business of the Year Award is given to a Commerce City company 
with a pioneer spirit that has shown a history of leadership within its 
industry and the community. L.G. Everist has demonstrated longevity and 
sustained growth within the Commerce City community for over 26 years 
and just celebrated its 140th year in business. This family owned 
company provides construction aggregates, transload/bulk services, 
dimensional stone, decorative stone, rail services, and water storage. 
The business has spanned five generations of owners and has employed 
other several multi-generation families.
  In 2016, L.G. Everist expanded its facility and is now well-
positioned to accommodate the next phase of growth to meet the growing 
needs for transloading bulk construction products across the Denver 
metro region. L.G. Everist values every opportunity to contribute to 
its community through economic development and enhancing the lives of 
employees, families, and the community as a whole.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to L.G. Everist, Inc. for this 
well-deserved recognition by Commerce City.
