                        Friday, October 4, 2019

  Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
fiftieth anniversary of the City of Brentwood, Tennessee.
  Brentwood was incorporated in Williamson County on April 15, 1969. 
Since then, spurred by the development of Maryland Farms into a 
business park in the 1970s and 1980s, Brentwood's population expanded 
from less than 4,000 residents to over 40,000 today.
  A prosperous suburb in the Nashville area, Brentwood has maintained 
its character as a low-density residential community even as it has 
been one of the fastest-growing cities in the state, with ninety 
percent of the city's acreage zoned for residential use.
  Its thriving business environment, high quality of life, top-rated 
schools, scenic beauty, and Tennessee way of life have given Brentwood 
a well-deserved reputation as one of the best places in the nation to 
live, work, and raise a family.
  Brentwood is home to many of Tennessee's finest citizens, and I am 
honored to represent them in the United States Congress. I ask my 
colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to join me in 
congratulating the City of Brentwood on this momentous occasion.

                          ____________________
