                 CELEBRATING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WEEK

  (Mr. HUIZENGA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HUIZENGA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize economic 
development organizations across Michigan and our Nation by celebrating 
Economic Development Week.
  Every May, we acknowledge the dedication of economic developers to 
job creation, financial health, and making our communities an even 
better place to call home.
  The work done by these economic developers creates new opportunities 
and lasting impacts on townships, cities, and counties across southwest 
Michigan.
  Organizations like Lakeshore Advantage, Cornerstone Alliance, 
Southwest Michigan First, Market Van Buren, and Battle Creek Unlimited 
are the standard for economic development in Michigan, thanks to their 
strong leadership.
  As a small business owner myself, I understand the importance of 
creating a forward-looking plan that advances your community's goals 
and well-being.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me by celebrating Economic Development Week 
as we recognize the important contributions of these organizations and 
individuals striving to make our communities a better place to live, 
work, and raise a family.
