  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Trimble for being 
recognized as the 2017 Innovative Technology award winner by the 
Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation (Jeffco EDC).
   The Innovative Technology Award is given to a local company that is 
on the forefront of new and advanced technologies and a company that is 
leading the way in aerospace, aviation, bioscience, energy or other 
similar industries. Founded in 1978, Trimble has become widely known as 
a pioneer in GPS technology, helping harness precise GPS satellite 
positioning for land and marine surveying. Today, the company serves 
many diverse industries including agriculture, building construction, 
heavy civil construction, energy, transportation and utilities. While 
positioning is still at the core, Trimble now innovates using a wide 
range of technologies such as Building Information Modeling, Mixed 
Reality, and Artificial Intelligence to help customers around the world 
do great things.
   Congratulations to Trimble for this well-deserved award, and I thank 
them for their contribution to our community.
