                        INVESTING IN NEW YORK-19

  (Mr. DELGADO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. DELGADO. Madam Speaker, throughout the appropriations process, I 
have worked to secure investments for upstate families, farmers, small 
businesses, and veterans.
  I would like to highlight a few projects included in this year's 
funding package that will improve and empower communities all across my 
district.
  In Columbia County, more than 300 homes and businesses in the towns 
of Ghent, Canaan, New Lebanon, and Austerlitz will be connected to 
high-speed broadband.
  The village of Philmont Fire Department will be able to purchase 12 
new air packs and replace an 81-year-old fire siren.
  In Delaware County folks will soon have access to quality, safe, and 
affordable childcare.
  Northern Dutchess Hospital will add 18 beds to its family birth 
center.
  These are just a few of the projects that we were able to secure. 
These are invaluable investments in New York-19.
