                        Thursday, July 27, 2017

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize 
Spring Hill, Florida as the community celebrates its 50th Anniversary.
  Spring Hill was founded in 1967 by the Mackle Brothers' Deltona 
Development Corporation as a sister city to Deltona. The Spring Hill 
waterfall, located at Spring Hill Drive and US 19, marks the original 
entrance to the community. The Mackle Brothers developed a fly and buy 
program where they would fly potential buyers down to play golf and see 
the community. The Mackle Brothers marketing strategy brought huge 
crowds to the community and within three years the majority of the 
28,500 platted lots were sold.
  Today, Spring Hill's award-winning golf courses and gated communities 
attract newcomers to the area. Situated near Weeki Wachee Springs and 
the Gulf of Mexico, Spring Hill has developed itself into the largest 
community in Hernando County.
  I congratulate the people that live and work in Spring Hill. It is 
truly an honor to serve the residents of Spring Hill, and I thank them 
for their tremendous contributions to Florida's Adventure Coast.
