                       Tuesday, January 27, 2026

  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize the 100-year 
anniversary of the City of Miami Springs, a historic and vibrant 
community in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
  Founded in 1926, Miami Springs was envisioned as a planned community 
that blended thoughtful design, natural beauty, and a strong sense of 
civic pride. From its earliest days, the city distinguished itself 
through its distinctive architecture, tree-lined streets, and 
commitment to preserving green spaces, creating a unique character that 
endures to this day.

  Over the past century, Miami Springs has grown into a close-knit 
community that values public service, cultural heritage, and local 
engagement. Its residents have played an integral role in the economic, 
civic, and social fabric of South Florida, contributing to the region's 
growth while maintaining the small-town spirit that makes Miami Springs 
special.
  The city's centennial is not only a celebration of its past, but also 
a recognition of the generations of residents, public servants, 
educators, first responders, and local leaders whose dedication has 
shaped its success. Their commitment to community, stewardship, and 
neighborly values serves as a model for cities across our Nation.
  As Miami Springs marks this historic milestone, I commend its 
residents and leaders for preserving the city's legacy while preparing 
for the opportunities and challenges of the next century. I extend my 
heartfelt congratulations to the City of Miami Springs on 100 years of 
history, resilience, and community, and I wish it continued prosperity 
for generations to come.
