        RECOGNIZING NEW JERSEY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

 Mr. MENENDEZ. Madam President, I rise today to pay tribute and 
to recognize a New Jersey organization celebrating its 25th 
anniversary, the New Jersey Community Development Corporation, NJCDC. I 
wish to take a moment now to honor NJCDC for the important work it is 
doing in the State of New Jersey and the accomplishments it has 
achieved over the past 25 years.
  The NJCDC provides hope for a rewarding future through urban 
revitalization efforts, financial support, education initiatives, and 
job creation. The work done by NJCDC has directly transformed the lives 
of many, especially in the city of Paterson.
  In honor of the accomplishments of this organization, I ask that a 
proclamation honoring the 25th anniversary of the NJCDC be printed in 
the Record.
  The material follows:
  Whereas, the New Jersey Community Development Corporation is a non-
profit community development and social service agency based in the 
City of Paterson, New Jersey;
  Whereas, the New Jersey Community Development Corporation and its 
dedicated staff empowers individuals to transform their lives and 
offers a variety of programs and services to assist economically 
disadvantaged individuals, at-risk youth, and people with disabilities;
  Whereas, the New Jersey Community Development Corporation has 
contributed to the revitalization of the City of Paterson and the Great 
Falls Historic District, helping to ensure a vibrant future for the 
City and its residents; and
  Whereas, now as the New Jersey Community Development Corporation 
celebrates its 25th Anniversary, I congratulate its staff and 
volunteers on this milestone.
  Therefore, in presenting this citation to the New Jersey Community 
Development Corporation, I, on behalf of the People of the State of New 
Jersey hereby congratulate the New Jersey Community Development 
Corporation and its contribution to the community, the City of 
Paterson, and the State of New Jersey.
