                     Wednesday, September 27, 2023

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate a momentous 
occasion in the history of New York State, the Town of Schuyler Falls' 
175th anniversary.
  In the early 19th century, a group of visionaries established a 
settlement bordered on the north and east by the Saranac River. Through 
their determination and perseverance, these settlers laid foundations 
for what would become the prosperous town of Schuyler Falls, formally 
erected from the Town of Plattsburgh on April 4, 1848. Residents have 
preserved its unique heritage, embraced progress, and fostered a 
vibrant spirit of unity that continues to this day.
  Schuyler Falls has beautiful rolling hills, accessible agriculture, 
timber, and waterpower, all of which provided early residents with key 
resources in the Town's founding industries. The initial successes of 
the Town's founders paved a way for a stalwart, close-knit community 
that values hard work and dedication.
  Today, Schuyler Falls continues to flourish with a plethora of local 
farms, small businesses, and a growing commercial businesses sector. On 
behalf of New York's 21st District, it is my honor to recognize and 
celebrate the
