Today, I rise to recognize the city of River Rouge, Michigan, as they celebrate a 100-year anniversary. Established as a city on April 3, 1922, River Rouge is a rich part of Michigan's history. It is situated between the Detroit and Rouge Rivers. The city of River Rouge has been the heart of Michigan's industrial and manufacturing history. Nearly 8,000 residents strong, the city of River Rouge takes pride in its role as being an integral part of Michigan's economy. They are the jewel of Michigan's downriver communities. It continues to thrive as a diverse, vibrant, and welcoming community that I truly love. Its public parks and access to river recreation offer unique opportunities for enjoying nature and spotting wildlife along the riverfronts. Please join me in recognizing the city of River Rouge as we join them in celebrating its 100-year anniversary. Again, I am beyond proud of serving this beautiful city of River Rouge and its residents in Michigan's 13th District Strong. ____________________
