(1815) CONGRATULATING YOUNGSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, ON 150TH ANNIVERSARY

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 45 (Tuesday, March 11, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 45 (Tuesday, March 11, 2025)] [House] [Page H1129] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] (1815) CONGRATULATING YOUNGSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, ON 150TH ANNIVERSARY (Mr. KNOTT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. KNOTT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the great people of Youngsville, North Carolina, ahead of their 150th anniversary celebration on March 17. Originally a railroad town and a community along U.S. Highway 1, Youngsville played a pivotal role in the growth of North Carolina's agricultural and rail industries and, in turn, helped develop the economy of our State and our region together. Today, Youngsville mirrors her residents. It is a vibrant, proudly patriotic community with robust growth across the board. Yet somehow, despite this growth, Youngsville has retained its character and heart by reimagining its downtown to meet the demands of an active community. It is no wonder that young families from across North Carolina and the region have flocked to this area. As its residents know, Youngsville is a truly special place and a treasure for the great State of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the Youngsville community on this anniversary, and I wish them all the best in the next 150 years. ____________________
