  Mr. PLATTS. Madam Speaker, I rise to commend the York County Economic 
Development Corporation, YCEDC, for providing economic development 
leadership to the York community for 50 years.
  YCEDC was established in 1958 to attract new industry, promote 
industrial development, and create new jobs. Since its inception, YCEDC 
has facilitated funding in excess of $73 million toward an estimated 
150 economic development projects, creating and retaining more than 
10,200 jobs throughout York County.
  YCEDC has facilitated effective community and business partnerships 
and has evolved its leadership role in economic development to advance 
a positive vision for York County's economic future. York County will 
continue to experience the positive effects of the organization's 
commitment for years to come.
  Madam Speaker, the observance of the 50th anniversary of YCEDC 
provides a special time to express our appreciation and gratitude to 
its employees, board members, and members for their work and dedication 
to York County's continued economic well-being and quality of life. 
Therefore, it is with heartfelt wishes that I congratulate YCEDC for 
their continued success.
