        RECOGNIZING THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE TOWN OF MUNFORD

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 13, 2022

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Town of Munford on their 20th anniversary.
  In the latter part of 1999 and early 2000, the citizens of the 
Community of Munford, Alabama, located in the northern portion of 
Talladega County, began a campaign to incorporate the community. One of 
the main purposes for incorporating was to separate itself from the 
City of Oxford, which was rapidly expanding and moving closer and 
closer to Munford.
  In August of 2002, an election was held, and the Town of Munford was 
incorporated with a population of 1,508. The newly elected mayor and 
five council members took office in November of that year. Now Munford 
was in control of its own growth.
  Munford has a very strong Water Board and Volunteer Fire Department 
to serve the area. The town also has a brand new middle school and high 
school and a new elementary school. The future looks bright for this 
great small town.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing the Town of Munford on 
their 20th anniversary.
