                 REVITALIZING THE CITY OF MORAINE, OHIO

  (Mr. TURNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TURNER. Mr. Speaker, in 2008, during the depths of the recession, 
a former General Motors plant closed in the city of Moraine, Ohio. The 
plant was set for demolition, which would have ended any hope of jobs 
returning to the site.
  Moraine Mayor Elaine Allison, City Manager David Hicks, and Economic 
Director Michael Davis all worked very diligently to preserve this 
resource and make certain this plant was not a parking lot. Their 
tireless efforts paid off.
  Last Thursday, the city of Moraine officially welcomed Fuyao, a 
thriving auto parts manufacturer, back to the former GM facility, 
creating hundreds of new jobs throughout the region.
  I want to congratulate the mayor, city council and city manager and 
economic director of Moraine for this great accomplishment and 
teamwork. They rallied the community behind this resource.
  Congratulations to the leadership in Moraine. It was great working 
with you on this project.
