                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 10, 2018

  Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 60th 
anniversary of the incorporation of Hanover Park, Illinois. Through its 
continued dedication to building a friendly and welcoming community for 
residents and visitors alike, Hanover Park is a model for other cities 
and towns to follow.
  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 home to 80 nationalities and 30 spoken languages, it is a 
diverse village. This diversity also transfers into their business 
environment. Hanover Park has thriving business parks, a growing retail 
community, and easy access to global markets. While the Village's 
police and fire departments are consistently recognized as two of the 
finest in the state, the local government is highly engaged and 
enthusiastic. All of these sectors make Hanover Park a vibrant and 
thriving community, as well as a great place to work, live, and raise a 
family.
  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 Village and our great Nation. Today 
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.
