  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker Pro Tempore, today, I want to commend the 
achievements of Eustace Mita, a prominent figure in South Jersey's 
luxury real estate industry. Mr. Mita serves as Chairman and CEO of 
Icona Resorts, Chairman of Mita Management, and CEO of Achristavest, 
all of which have left a significant mark on South Jersey's luxury real 
estate sector. He founded ICONA Resorts in 2013, quickly establishing a 
highly regarded brand of luxury hotels in South Jersey, including the 
top ranked Icona Diamond Beach resort. Currently, ICONA operates seven 
hotels along the South Jersey shore in Avalon, Cape May, Wildwood 
Crest, and Spring Lake. Mr. Mita's business ventures extend to high-end 
luxury home development with Achristavest and strategic investments in 
local real estate and the automotive sectors through Mita Management. 
Outside of business, he is a devoted family man to his wife, Susie, and 
their five children and sixteen grandchildren. He is a respected leader 
in the Catholic Church's service initiatives and his contributions were 
recognized by Pope Francis during the 2015 World Meeting of Families in 
Philadelphia. He also serves as the first lay president of the Papal 
Foundation, a charity that funds Papal requests for charitable grants 
and scholarships. It is an honor to celebrate Eustace Mita's 
contributions to South Jersey's luxury real estate and commitment to 
community service. His entrepreneurial spirit and dedication have left 
a lasting impact on our South Jersey community. God Bless Eustice Mita 
and God Bless the United States of America.
