                        Thursday, April 8, 2021

  Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Darren Gough and 
Michael Roesler of MCM Development Malone, LLC on the successful 
revitalization of The River Building, a historic landmark in the Town 
of Malone, and on the opening of their new restaurant, Hearth of 
Malone.
  Darren and Michael knew at first sight that there was something 
special about The River Building, so they sought to turn their dream of 
renewing a portion of downtown Malone into a reality. Through 
perseverance and teamwork, they renovated this historic building into a 
multi-use space where family, friends, visitors, and tourists alike can 
gather and feel welcome. In that vein, the new restaurant within the 
building is aptly named Hearth of Malone as they hope to foster a sense 
of community in this new space.
  The North Country would be nothing without our local businesses and 
entrepreneurs like Darren and Michael, who undertake enormous efforts 
to create positive change in our communities. Darren, and Michael, 
along with their partner and executive chef, Jesse Badger, and general 
manager, Randy Tomblin, have truly exemplified the ``neighbor helping 
neighbor'' mindset. Throughout the renovation process, they contracted 
locally, and at the Hearth of Malone, many ingredients will be sourced 
directly from local farmers. They are fully investing in our community 
and are committed to serving their customers to the best of their 
ability.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District, I would like to thank MCM 
Development Malone, LLC, and their entire team for their dedication to 
revitalizing a historic property in our community and congratulate them 
on their hard-earned achievements thus far.
