                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 12, 2007

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating Bob Iannacone as he retires from his position as 
Director of Economic Development for the Williamson County Economic 
Development Council.
  Since he first assumed this responsibility in 1991, Bob has been 
instrumental in attracting corporations looking for a place to relocate 
and encouraging the expansion and growth of existing Williamson County 
companies. Together, these efforts have had an impact of approximately 
one billion dollars to the local economy. Through innovative marketing 
strategies, including the award-winning Economic Development Showcase 
program, Bob has ensured that corporate leaders around the country and 
around the world know that Williamson County is a great place to do 
business, and a great place to live.
  A proud veteran of the United States Air Force, Bob Iannacone has 
also served our community through his work with multiple non-profit 
civic organizations and has impacted countless lives. Again, I ask my 
colleagues to join me in thanking Bob for his contributions to our 
nation and to Tennessee. I'm certain that his wife, Pat, children and 
grandchildren are all proud of the outstanding work he has done to 
improve not just the economy, but the quality of life in Williamson 
County.
