Mr. FINSTAD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce and congratulate the organization on celebrating 160 years of support for local businesses and economic growth.

Since 1866, the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce has been a strong advocate for the business community, helping build the Rochester area into the epicenter of economic activity that it is today.

For more than a century and a half, the chamber has supported generations of entrepreneurs, employers, community members, and businesses across the Rochester community, shaping the economic development in our region with strong business advocacy, investments in workforce and professional development, and meaningful networking opportunities.

Mr. Speaker, I am thankful for the work of the chamber members and their leaders and for the many contributions to fostering the connections that make the Rochester community a great place to live, work, and do business.

I congratulate the entire Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce family on celebrating this incredible milestone, and I wish them continued success for the next 160 years and beyond.
