  Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Dollar General 
Distribution Center in Amsterdam for receiving the FMS Workforce 
Development Business of the Year Award for Montgomery County.
  The Dollar General Distribution Center has a new state-of-the-art and 
highly efficient facility that was built to support their growing 
network in New York and throughout the northeast. Dollar General has 
garnered a great reputation for their commitment to the community and 
producing quality products that promote a cleaner environment. Strong 
partnerships are key to developing a great workforce, and Dollar 
General has worked closely with the Amsterdam Career Center to recruit 
and interview prospective employees. Additionally, they have held 
successful hiring events that have attracted hundreds of job seekers 
from the surrounding community. Dollar General has made significant 
contributions to community organizations in the North Country, 
including $5,000 to the Workforce Career Center and a donation to the 
United Way in Amsterdam to help support their mission.
  The commitment Dollar General has made to the community and workforce 
is significant and on behalf of New York's 21st District, I would like 
to thank and congratulate Elijah Braemer and the entire staff for this 
well-deserved recognition. I look forward to their future success
