Recognizing 150th Anniversary of Greer

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. TIMMONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a very special milestone in South Carolina's Fourth Congressional District, the 150th anniversary of Greer.

Founded in 1876 along a railroad line connecting Greenville and Spartanburg, Greer began as a small depot town built on opportunity and hard work. Over the years, it has grown into a thriving community and a key driver of economic growth in the upstate.

Today, Greer is home to hardworking families, small businesses, and world-class industry. But what truly defines this city is its people, neighbors, who take pride in where they live and invest in its future every day.

The yearlong Greer150 celebration is a chance to honor that history, bring the community together, and look ahead to what comes next.

As the Congressman representing this great city and home to our district office, I am proud to celebrate Greer's legacy and its bright future.

To the people of Greer, I congratulate them on 150 years. The best is yet to come.
