  CELEBRATING THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF GRANDMONT ROSEDALE DEVELOPMENT 
                              CORPORATION

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the Grandmont 
Rosedale Development Corporation as they celebrate 30 years of service 
to the residents of northwest Detroit.
  Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation was formed in 1989, 
initially as a business association for the five neighborhoods it 
represents. However, its focus from business to neighborhood 
preservation. From then on, Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation 
has been active in reducing neighborhood blight, promoting sustainable 
economic development, and increasing homeownership.
  Beyond that, they run a number of community-based programs, including 
a neighborhood coworking space, farmers market, and vacant property 
task force to help improve the quality of life for all the residents in 
the city of Detroit.
  Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation's holistic approach to 
maintaining its neighborhoods is the true definition of community 
development. Its diverse staff and the countless volunteers put their 
heart and soul into the community, and that shines through in every 
project.
  I am honored to serve this community, and I commend Grandmont 
Rosedale Development Corporation on the occasion of its 30th 
anniversary.
