                       Friday, September 10, 2021

  Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Louis Tessier for 
his decades of service to Lake George and all of Warren County, New 
York, and to mark the dedication of ''Lou Tessier Way'' at the Warren 
County Airport.
  Louis Tessier first came to Lake George in the 1970s when he 
purchased the Four Seasons Hotel. He quickly got involved in the local 
community and was elected to the Lake George Town Board in 1982. Just 
two years later, Mr. Tessier was elected as Supervisor of the Board, a 
position he held until his retirement in 2009. His long list of 
accomplishments in this role includes overseeing $500,000 in 
renovations for the Lake George Town Hall, acquiring the land for Usher 
Park Beach, and assisting in building the Scoville Learning Center at 
Adirondack Community College. In addition to his years of service on 
the Lake George Town Board, he also served as Chairman of the Board for 
Warren County's Board of Supervisors, budget officer for Warren County, 
and a member of the American Legion.
  A pilot himself, Louis Tessier was a devoted advocate for the Warren 
County Airport, He went out of his way to support the staff and assist 
them whenever they needed help. He put in hours of work to help 
organize the Adirondack Balloon Festival. In honor of his commitment to 
the airport and the community it serves, the Warren County Board of 
Supervisors unanimously decided to rename the entrance road to the 
airport ``Lou Tessier Way.''
  Mr. Tessier truly embodies the community spirit present throughout 
the North Country. On behalf of New York's 21st Congressional District, 
I would like to thank Mr. Tessier for his decades of service to Lake 
George and Warren County and congratulate him for this well-deserved 
recognition.
