                         Tuesday, June 10, 2025

  Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I'm proud to hail from the Food, Fuel, 
and Fiber Capital of the World, which powers, feeds, and clothes our 
great Nation and beyond. Today, I am honored to celebrate an occasion 
that represents the true embodiment of the spirit and unparalleled 
ingenuity of West Texas--the groundbreaking of the Crossroads Business 
Park in Big Spring, Texas.
  This development is the first major business park in West Texas tied 
to the Ports-to-Plains initiative, which will transform the I-27 
corridor from Dumas to Laredo. The hundreds of acres of new office 
space the Crossroads Business Park will create is a model of how Ports-
to-Plains will fuel investment in West Texas and represents a major 
boon for Big Spring, Howard County, and the entire region. This 
business park offers a new hub for commercial opportunities and job 
creation, and I am proud to recognize such a remarkable commitment to 
our community.
  This project is also thanks to the strong investment made by Howard 
County, the City of Big Spring, the Big Spring Economic Development 
Corporation, the Cross Ell Ranch Corporation, the Permian Basin 
Regional Planning

Commission, and the Texas Department of Transportation and their 
commitment to making this vision a reality. On behalf of the 19th 
Congressional District of Texas, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you 
to all involved in this project for their dedication to our community. 
God bless, and go West Texas.
