                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 18, 2019

  Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I rise to pay special recognition to Tom 
Lund, of Marion County, Kentucky, for his remarkable career and 
outstanding contributions to the local community and beyond. This year 
marks his retirement and I want to congratulate him for many decades of 
success.
  After living and working in several areas across the country, Tom 
came to Marion County in 1992 to serve as Economic Development 
Director. His long-term vision for economic growth and his pragmatic 
approach to attracting industry led to a remarkable 27-year career in 
the Region.
  When Tom began his work in Marion County the area had only a few 
industries. Now, the community boasts over 34 industries and is 
considered the manufacturing center of Central Kentucky. His efforts 
have also led to greater ease of transportation and broader access to 
water resources and local industry.
  Once again, I want to congratulate Tom Lund on his notable career and 
recent retirement. I thank him for being an exceptional leader and 
advocate for economic opportunity in the 1st Congressional District of 
Kentucky.
