                        Friday, October 4, 2013

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Able Planet for receiving the 2013 Wheat Ridge Special Recognition 
Award.
   Able Planet, a Wheat Ridge business that designs and manufactures 
innovative audio and communication devices for individuals with all 
levels of hearing was honored by the State as one of the growing 
``Colorado Companies to Watch'' at a recent gala in Denver. The award 
recognizes second-stage companies that are developing valuable products 
and services, creating quality jobs, enriching communities, and 
creating new industries throughout the state. Second-stage companies 
fuel the economic fire of Colorado by accounting for much of the 
economic growth and economic independence of individuals throughout the 
state.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Able Planet for this well 
deserved recognition by the City of Wheat Ridge and the Wheat Ridge 
Business Association.
