BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize McCracken County on the celebration of their Bicentennial. McCracken County is an integral part of Kentucky's 1st Congressional District, full of rich history and wonderful people. McCracken County, along with the City of Paducah, has been central to Western Kentucky's identity and growth for two centuries.

McCracken County has a proud history of contributing to the communities' rich economic, artistic, and cultural development.

The waterways of McCracken County play a pivotal role in the county's story, serving as a strategic hub for inland waterway industries. They continue to attract businesses to contribute significantly to local revenue through job creation, tourism, and business operations.

I am proud to represent the good people of McCracken County in Congress and look forward to seeing even more prosperous years to come.
