  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Traverse 
Bay Economic Development Corporation for their outstanding service to 
the small businesses of the Traverse Bay area.
  The Traverse Bay Economic Development Corporation is highly dedicated 
to the small businesses and commerce of its region. This tremendous 
organization has greatly assisted to improve the quality of life in the 
community it serves. Its unwavering commitment has been rewarded by the 
Michigan Economic Development Corporation, which has recognized them as 
America's top small town for business growth. This is not the first 
time TBEDC has been recognized for its efforts to attract and expand 
business in the Grand Traverse County area.
  I am honored today to recognize the Traverse Bay Economic Development 
Corporation for their commitment to their region.
