  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Village at Belmar for receiving the 2019 Large Business of the Year 
Award from the West Metro Chamber of Commerce.
  Village at Belmar is a locally owned and operated community designed 
to provide an unparalleled lifestyle experience for seniors. Our 
innovative Village, with more than 300 residents, was conceived and 
inspired by Phil

Shapiro, Tom Finley, and Susie Reimer. With more than sixty years of 
combined senior living development, marketing, management, and 
ownership experience, the three of them co-founded Ascent Living 
Communities based in Denver.
  Their philosophy is ``meaningful connections'' which is demonstrated 
through their dedication to maintaining a presence at the community 
through engagement with the associates, residents, and their families. 
Village at Belmar is a thriving community and is always seeking ways to 
continually improve in order to provide an elevated quality of life for 
those they serve in the greater Lakewood and Jefferson County area.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Village at Belmar for this 
well-deserved recognition.
