                    CONGRATULATING CITY OF FLORENCE

  (Mr. FRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FRY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to extend my congratulations to 
the city of Florence for being awarded the 2023 Great American Main 
Street Award by Main Street America, an award that hasn't been given to 
another South Carolina city for 20 years.
  This is such a well-deserved recognition of the city of Florence's 
dedication to preserving its history and culture and maintaining a 
thriving community.
  Downtown Florence is booming with restaurants and local businesses, 
residential growth, and community involvement, and I am thrilled that 
the city has received this national recognition of their dedicated work 
to create such a great place to live.
  I am looking forward to seeing the continued success of the city of 
Florence, as it is such a vital part of the Pee Dee region of our 
State.
