  CONGRATULATING MARK DAHLBERG FROM THE VILLAGE OF GRANTSBURG ON HIS 
              RETIREMENT AFTER 43 YEARS OF PUBLIC SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SEAN P. DUFFY

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 24, 2012

  Mr. DUFFY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the honorable 
contributions made by Mr. Mark Dahlberg, a retired Trustee for the 
Village of Grantsburg, Wisconsin.

[[Page 5449]]

  Mr. Dahlberg has served the public at the local government level for 
a total of 43 years--as Village President (1995-2009), and twice as a 
Trustee (1969-1995, 2009-2012).
  During his time in office, the small northwestern Wisconsin Village 
of Grantsburg has seen unprecedented economic growth. Today, this town 
is considered to be the main manufacturing hub in Burnett County. With 
Mr. Dahlberg's facilitation, tax increment financing and the expansion 
of water services became effective instruments allowing local 
industries to grow and expand. Mr. Dahlberg's top priority had always 
been increasing economic development and job creation in Grantsburg.
  These accomplishments made by Mr. Dahlberg in Grantsburg illustrate 
an ideal relationship between the public and private sector. He has 
shown that government can work with business to create the environment 
necessary for sustained economic growth and development, even during 
difficult economic times.
  I commend and thank Mr. Dahlberg for all of the years he has served 
the public, and I ask my colleagues to join me in extending best wishes 
to him on the occasion of his retirement.
