Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BURCHETT. Madam Speaker, today I recognize Knoxville-based engineering firm Strata-G on winning the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's 2019 Dream Big Small Business of the Year Award.

Strata-G was founded in 2002 by retired Navy veteran Dan Hurst. Since then, the Strata-G team has grown to include more than 200 engineers, scientists, safety professionals and project managers that provide technical support to clients in environmental, energy, defense, utility and infrastructure sectors.

Strata-G has received numerous awards for both its outstanding engineering services and focus on community service. The firm supports numerous charities, non-profits and land stewardship initiatives. The Small Business of the Year Award came with a check for $25,000, which Strata-G is investing in two of its community partners: Knoxville Area Rescue Ministries and Westview Community School.

It's an honor to have Strata-G located in Tennessee's Second District, and I know I speak for many in East Tennessee when I say congratulations on this prestigious award.
