                  CELEBRATING AKERS MILL RAMP OPENING

  (Mrs. McBATH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. McBATH. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the opening of the 
Akers Mill ramp project.
  During my first months in Congress in 2018, I gathered Federal 
officials to speak about the importance of the investment in our 
State's infrastructure. In July of that year, my team was able to 
announce a $5 million grant, the final funding needed to complete the 
project.
  I am so proud that, working together, we were finally able to secure 
the resources for our project that will serve more than 100,000 
commuters in my community and benefit all of metropolitan Atlanta.
  I thank the Cumberland Community Improvement District, our partners 
in Cobb County, the Atlanta Regional Commission, and our State and 
Federal officials who had a hand in making this project a reality.
  I congratulate the entire Cumberland community.
