                      Wednesday, December 3, 2025

  Mr. KENNEDY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the 
Honorable Brian Kulpa, Supervisor of the Town of Amherst, and a man 
whose influence can be seen and felt throughout the Western New York 
community by colleagues and community members alike.
  As a Western New York native, Supervisor Kulpa graduated from St. 
Joseph's Collegiate Institute and later obtained his Bachelor's and 
Master's degrees in Architecture and Urban and Regional Planning from 
SUNY Buffalo. Supervisor Kulpa has more than a quarter-century of 
experience as an architect and urban planner, previously serving as a 
senior associate, architect, and planner at a local Western New York 
firm. Supervisor Kulpa later established his own company, Waves 
Architecture and Engineering, of which he serves as Principal 
Architect.
  Supervisor Kulpa's career has been a testament to his love for our 
community. Supervisor Kulpa served as Mayor of the Village of 
Williamsville from 2012 through the end of 2017, and played a vital 
role in the village's day-to-day operations, acting as a liaison 
between the Village of Williamsville and residents. Due to Kulpa's 
tenacity and vision, the Village of Williamsville was awarded $11 
million in state and federal funding to focus on enhancements of the 
Main Street Corridor. This investment led to community and 
infrastructure projects that will be enjoyed by residents and visitors 
for decades to come.
  In 2017, Kulpa was elected Amherst Town Supervisor, where he has 
helped transform the Town of Amherst into a center of economic 
prosperity. Supervisor Kulpa has prioritized investments in 
neighborhood revitalization projects, economic development, parks and 
recreation, and transportation and infrastructure. With a focus on 
leveraging existing spaces within the town, Supervisor Kulpa has worked 
to make the town a vibrant community with a thriving economy.
  As we acknowledge the incredible service of the Honorable Brian 
Kulpa, let us recognize his dedicated career as a public servant to the 
Village of Williamsville and the Town of Amherst. Supervisor Kulpa's 
leadership is truly exemplary, and the impact of his service will be 
seen, felt, and heard for generations to come, leaving our community 
stronger and better.
