                       RECOGNIZING RICHMOND HILL-

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. EARL L. ``BUDDY'' CARTER

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 11, 2021

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Ford Avenue Historic District as an officially designated area in the 
city of Richmond Hill.
  After 2 years of planning, the Richmond Hill City Council approved an 
amendment to an ordinance creating the city's first historic district 
on January 5th.
  The Ford Avenue Historic District is at the heart of Richmond Hill's 
history and contains primary locations and buildings Ford Motor Company 
built between 1925 and 1947. When Henry Ford came to Richmond Hill, the 
town was known as Ways Station. Upon his arrival, the town grew and 
became known as Richmond Hill. You can feel the history simply walking 
down the street.
  Designating this remarkable historic district is just another 
positive effort by the city to promote, protect, and remember its 
roots. I am thankful for the Richmond Hill City Council's diligent work 
on this and everything they do.
