                     SITE SELECTION MAGAZINE AWARDS

  (Mr. BOCCIERI asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. BOCCIERI. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in recognition of two great 
cities of Wooster and Medina in Ohio who are working hard to bring jobs 
to my northeastern Ohio district.
  The national Site Selection magazine recently announced its annual 
rankings of States with the most business friendly atmosphere. This 
year, the city of Wooster finished second in the country among cities 
between 10,000 and 50,000 people for attracting business development.
  The magazine also highlighted efforts of the Sandridge Food 
Corporation in Medina to create jobs through a recent $6.2 million 
expansion for machinery and equipment, as well as to make additions and 
expansions to their building. That effort is expected to create between 
50 and nearly 330 jobs.
  The honors speak to the ingenuity of both cities and their commitment 
to growth in tough economic times.
  I commend the efforts of Wooster Mayor Bob Breneman and Mayor Dennis 
Hanwell in Medina for their efforts to bring jobs to our district. The 
teamwork of local elected officials, local leaders, and employers paved 
the way for economic growth and job creation.
  These are not easy times, but this news proves that the American 
spirit is alive and well in Ohio. With the right plan, leadership, and 
perseverance, we can overcome these tough economic times together.
