                      Wednesday, February 5, 2025

  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize McCracken County on 
the celebration of their Bicentennial. McCracken County is an integral 
part of Kentucky's 1st Congressional District, full of rich history and 
wonderful people. McCracken County, along with the City of Paducah, has 
been central to Western Kentucky's identity and growth for two 
centuries.
  McCracken County has a proud history of contributing to the 
communities' rich economic, artistic, and cultural development.
  The waterways of McCracken County play a pivotal role in the county's 
story, serving as a strategic hub for inland waterway industries. They 
continue to attract businesses to contribute significantly to local 
revenue through job creation, tourism, and business operations.
  I am proud to represent the good people of McCracken County in 
Congress and look forward to seeing even more prosperous years to come.
