                        Tuesday, April 24, 2018

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
Saratoga Economic Development Corporation as it celebrates its 40th 
anniversary.
  Since its establishment in 1978, the Saratoga Economic Development 
Corporation (SEDC) has been instrumental in fostering economic growth 
in Saratoga County. By working to both retain existing businesses and 
attract new jobs and industry to the county, SEDC has helped build 
Saratoga County into the thriving region that we know today. As a 
private investor-led, non-profit consulting firm, SEDC works with 
nearly 300 employers on projects to improve the quality of life for 
residents. Over the past 40 years, SEDC brought over 18,000 jobs to 
Saratoga County and $16.5 billion in capital investment, significant 
achievements that I am proud to honor today.
  On behalf of New York's 21st district, I want to thank the Saratoga 
Economic Development Corporation for 40 years of hard work and 
dedication to improving the Saratoga community. I look forward to 
watching them continue to succeed for many years to come.
