                      RECOGNIZING WINDBER BOROUGH

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 28, 2022

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
the Borough of Windber as it celebrates its 125th anniversary of 
incorporation.
  The Borough of Windber was established in 1897. The first people to 
settle here were the miners and energy producers who came to our area 
to mine the metallurgic coal that we still use and rely on to this day. 
Since its beginnings, Windber has grown to be an essential part of 
western Pennsylvania--and is home to businesses and organizations 
including Windber Hospital, that do incredible work for the 
Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District.
  Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Windber has been 
recognized for the important work that was done here which included 
mine the coal, produce the lumber, and create the fire bricks that 
would build cities and towns across our region.
  It is an honor to recognize the Borough of Windber's 
Quasquicentennial celebration, and I look forward to continuing to work 
with residents and community leaders in Windber to bring the resources, 
tools, and family-sustaining jobs that are needed to ensure another 
successful century.
