                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ED PERLMUTTER

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 28, 2017

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital for receiving the City of Wheat Ridge's 
Reinvestment Award for 2017. The Reinvestment Award recognizes 
businesses who play an active role in improving the City of Wheat 
Ridge.
  Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital, with more than thirteen years in Wheat 
Ridge, was selected because of their redevelopment of an old office 
building, demolition of a blighted older business and their 
accommodation for parking in their new facility. The company purchased 
an older two story office building that had been shuttered for over 
three years. The owners of Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital completely 
rehabilitated the building to accommodate the re-use.
  I applaud Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital for being the recipient of this 
well-deserved honor by the City of Wheat Ridge, and I congratulate them 
on their success.
