 CELEBRATING AMAZON'S 20TH YEAR OF OPERATIONS AT THE SDF1 FULFILLMENT

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, June 3, 2019

  Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to join my constituents in 
Campbellsville, Kentucky, who are celebrating Amazon's 20th year of 
operations at the SDF1 Fulfillment Center.
  Amazon has been a tremendous contributor to Taylor County and the 
surrounding areas since opening SDF1 as one of the first five 
fulfillment centers in North America. Over the past two decades, Amazon 
has grown tremendously and SDF1 remains one of the largest employers in 
Taylor County and the region.
  As evidence of the company's commitment to bettering the communities 
in which they operate, and in commemoration of their 20th year in 
Campbellsville, Amazon is donating more than $10,000 in STEM-related 
supplies to the Taylor County Public Library. This donation will 
enhance the library's current STEM-themed programs by fostering and 
promoting the pursuit of STEM education, while also developing students 
with real-world, marketable skills.
  For two decades, Amazon has been proud to call Kentucky home and I am 
grateful for their continued investment in our commonwealth. I am proud 
of the economic prosperity and industrial development their presence 
has brought to Taylor County, and I join with all those whose lives 
they have bettered in celebrating their generosity to the community.
