                     CONGRATULATING STEVE LOCKWOOD

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. STEVE COHEN

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                       Saturday, August 22, 2020

  Mr. COHEN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my friend 
Steve Lockwood, who is retiring after more than 18 years as the 
executive director of the Frayser Community Development Corporation. In 
that role, Mr. Lockwood has seen a rebound in property values after the 
Great Recession and has worked to bring $30 million in redevelopment to 
Frayser's MLK Zone surrounding Martin Luther King College Prep. Mr. 
Lockwood's tenure with the agency is almost as old as the CDC itself, 
which was founded in January 2000. In what is obviously a labor of 
love, Mr. Lockwood has created an agency known for offering homebuyer 
education and financial literacy for residents of a market once defined 
by foreclosures. Mr. Lockwood's mission-based focus has inspired his 
staff and his legacy will be their continued successes. I wish him all 
the best in a well-deserved retirement.
