                 RECOGNIZING TREE CITY USA DESIGNATIONS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. VAN TAYLOR

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 14, 2019

  Mr. TAYLOR. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to recognize eight cities in 
Texas' Third Congressional District who have received this year's Tree 
City USA designation by the Arbor Day Foundation.
  Allen, Fairview, Frisco, McKinney, Murphy, Plano, Prosper, and 
Wylie--all located within Collin County--have proven they care about 
ensuring the environment around them is thriving and full of life.
  These Collin County cities understand that trees serve an integral 
purpose in our community, including improved health, clean air and 
water, and a positive impact on businesses and homes in the area. Not 
only are these communities dedicated to providing necessary municipal 
tree care, but they are encouraging their residents to do the same. I 
commend these cities for their investments in green infrastructure and 
for creating a lasting and positive impact for generations to come.
  I ask my colleagues in the House of Representative to join me in 
congratulating these eight communities on their efforts to maintain 
healthy and green environments in their neighborhoods.
