  Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Findlay, Ohio for being 
named the 2018 Top Micropolitan Community in the United States. Awarded 
by Site Selection magazine, Findlay has now received this recognition 
as the top city for business for four straight years.
  To qualify, a micropolitan city must have a population ranging from 
10,000 to 50,000. Site Selection judged 575 of these cities on business 
growth and sustainable success. In totality, Findlay listed 21 projects 
that met Site Selection's criteria leading to its fourth straight 
first-place finish.
  It is a team effort top to bottom that has led the way to Findlay's 
consistent success. I commend Mayor Lydia Mihalik, the Findlay-Hancock 
County Economic Development office, the Hancock County Commissioners, 
and the entire community for everything they've done to top the charts 
once again.
  Mr. Speaker, the `Findlay Formula' has an established track record 
that meant to cultivate growth and prosperity for the community. With 
their business-friendly environment, I have no doubt that Findlay will 
be at the top again next year.
  Congratulations once again to Findlay for being named the country's 
No. 1 Micropolitan Community.
