                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. KEVIN BRADY

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 16, 2022

  Mr. BRADY. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor the distinguished 
career and community contributions of my dear friend John Bleyl as we 
celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of Bleyl Engineering.
  John founded Bleyl Engineering in 1997, after recognizing the need 
for high quality municipal projects in Conroe, Texas. The inception of 
Bleyl Engineering helped jumpstart an era of record-setting growth in 
the Conroe community.
  However, John's keen sense of entrepreneurship, strong Texas values, 
and reputation for faith-fueled business ethics grew the company from a 
boutique firm in Montgomery County to an engineering and construction 
management powerhouse with offices and community projects across the 
Lone Star State. The company now employs 100 people in Conroe, Austin, 
Bryan-College Station, and Tomball.
  Bleyl Engineering continues to be guided by its founding vision: ``to 
be a foundation for the advancement of stronger, safer communities 
across Texas.'' Under John's leadership, not only has Bleyl Engineering 
prospered as a company, but many communities now have safer 
intersections, accessible public transportation, critical health care 
infrastructure, and economic growth opportunities.
  Mr. Bleyl's first-class public and private sector engineering 
portfolio speaks for itself. A few notable engineering projects that 
highlight John's legacy across Texas include the George Bush 
Intercontinental Airport, the Deison Technology Park, Texas Children's 
Hospital, and the Fish Creek Thoroughfare Expansion. When the highest 
standard of engineering or project management is required, Mr. Bleyl 
has been consistently called upon for his efficiency, dependability, 
and expertise.
  Bleyl Engineering has also been committed to supporting the community 
through various philanthropic causes. It contributes to local 
fundraisers through the Rotary Club of Conroe and the Magnolia 
Education Foundation. In addition, Bleyl Engineering sponsored a local 
Ironman Triathlon competitor to raise money for Syrian refugees 
displaced by the civil war.
  Mr. Bleyl continues to serve as the City Engineer for Panorama 
Village and Shenandoah, but his ideas live beyond his work as an 
engineer. His dedication to his community is evident through his 
involvement in the Lazy River Improvement District Board, Lone Star 
Groundwater District Board, West Fork--TIRZ Board, Bryan--TIRZ Board, 
and the New Danville Project.
  I am proud to recognize John as an outstanding member of the Conroe 
community and his business for celebrating a quarter-century of 
excellence. Mr. Bleyl is an exceptional businessman, a generous 
philanthropist, and the embodiment of a true Texan. I congratulate him 
on this milestone and look forward to his continued sucess.
