     CELEBRATING THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JARED MOSKOWITZ

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 21, 2023

  Mr. MOSKOWITZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 60th 
Anniversary of the City of Coral Springs.
  Coral Springs is one of Florida's first truly planned cities. It was 
first incorporated on July 10, 1963, as ``the last piece of gold on the 
gold coast'' and has since become home to more than 134,000 residents. 
Now a thriving city with ``Everything Under the Sun,'' the Coral 
Springs community is proudly celebrating the city's past, present, and 
future during this Diamond Anniversary year with memorable family 
events, limited-edition merchandise production, and yearlong 
initiatives that aim to promote a sense of community pride and 
historical appreciation.
  Comprising 24 square miles and nestled in the northwest corner of 
Broward County, Coral Springs is known for its family atmosphere, 
thriving business community, a vast array of parks and recreational 
facilities, and top-rated schools. As one of the fastest growing 
cities, and now considered fully ``built-out,'' it is hard to believe 
the same land was merely a green bean farm on the edge of the Florida 
Everglades just over 60 years ago.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me in recognizing the 60th 
Anniversary of the City of Coral Springs and a special thanks to the 
residents, past and present, for making it the thriving community it is 
today.
