                        CELEBRATING RACER TRUST

  (Ms. STEVENS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. STEVENS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate RACER Trust 
based in Detroit for its extraordinary work turning abandoned 
industrial sites into engines of economic growth across Michigan and 
this country.
  Following the Great Recession, the RACER Trust was established to 
clean up and redevelop over 7,000 acres of shuttered properties. In 
fact, it was created by the team that I had the privilege of working on 
in the Obama administration, the U.S. Auto Rescue Task Force.
  RACER Trust has reimagined the process to meet challenges facing 
long-held industrial sites. I have also gotten a chance to visit many 
of these sites through my Manufacturing Monday program.
  They include Williams International, United Wholesale Mortgage, 
Challenge Manufacturing, and the M1 Concourse featured here, all of 
which are located in Pontiac, Michigan. These were shuttered industrial 
plants that are now beacons of light in our community, and we should 
celebrate their success.
