  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, it is with deep sadness but great respect 
that I take this time to remember Milton V. Peterson of Fairfax, VA.
  Mr. Peterson passed away on Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at the age of 85 
surrounded by his family. The founder of Peterson Cos., Mr. Peterson 
will long be remembered for his outsized impact on developing numerous 
major projects across the Washington, D.C. region. He developed some of 
the most successful and award-winning mixed-use retail, residential and 
office developments in Northern Virginia. In addition to being a 
visionary developer, Peterson and his wife, Carolyn established the 
Peterson Family Foundation, donating more than $100 million to area 
charities.
  Mr. Peterson was a thoughtful, hardworking, and passionate individual 
who greatly contributed to countless lives in Northern Virginia. Madam 
Speaker, I ask you to rise with me in memory of Mr. Milt Peterson. He 
will be profoundly missed.
