                        Tuesday, August 24, 2021

  Mr. PERRY. Madam Speaker, I am honored to recognize the 25th 
Anniversary of Navarro & Wright Consulting Engineers, Inc.
  Founded in October 1996 by Paul J. Navarro, P.E., and Charles Wright, 
the Firm began operations with three employees working out of the 
basement of Paul Navarro's house in Steelton, Pennsylvania. The company 
flourished from its humble beginnings and has grown to a total of 190 
employees across nine offices in three states--Pennsylvania, Maryland, 
and Delaware.
  The Firm's original clients included land developers, municipalities, 
and utility companies. The housing boom of the late 90s and early 2000s 
fostered growth opportunities, and the Firm quickly expanded its 
services to capture a segment of the transportation sector.
  In 1998, the Firm was certified as a minority-owned business with 
PennDOT and the PA Department of General Services, which enabled it to 
bid on public works projects with state agencies. Today, the Firm is a 
certified MBE/DBE, with numerous state agencies across the Mid-Atlantic 
region. Over the years, the Firm made several acquisitions, such as 
Foust Geological Services, and Raudenbush Engineering, which bolstered 
its transportation services and geographic presence into Western 
Pennsylvania.
  The Firm moved to its current corporate headquarters in New 
Cumberland, PA in 1999, and acquired/now occupies the 14,000 square 
foot building that houses several of its business units and corporate 
staff.
  Navarro & Wright consistently is recognized among the Top Private 
Companies and Fastest Growing Companies in the Central Pennsylvania 
area for the past 25 years. The Firm also earned a Top 100 MBE Firm in 
the Mid-Atlantic region.
  True to its mission statement, ``Delivering Vital Infrastructure 
through Design Excellence,'' Navarro & Wright approaches each project 
with the client's needs and objectives at the forefront. It has earned 
a reputation of delivering high quality services across the many 
markets--a distinction that is a tribute to the key leaders and 
talented employees of the Firm who give their utmost attention to each 
project. The Firm's belief in continuous improvement enables its team 
to maintain a high level of service, and to continue to grow and 
prosper.
  I'm honored and privileged to commend Mr. Paul J. Navarro, P.E., and 
Navarro & Wright Consulting Services on 25 years of success, 
prosperity, and vital service to our communities. I wish Mr. Navarro 
and the Firm continued success and prosperity into the future.
