“I rise today on behalf of Mayor Larry Bell of the community of Zoar, OH and I rise today to recognize the Zoar Community Association and the citizens of the historic Village of Zoar, OH which I am proud to represent. They are in the midst of Project Pride, an innovative effort to preserve and faithfully restore their town hall in a way that both honors the past and explores the future. Project Pride will create a year-round tourist information and welcoming center for visitors to Zoar, the Ohio and Erie Canal corridor, and the entire region. The preserved town hall will also provide an interactive technology area linked to the Internet, which will be available to local citizens for research and distance learning. Mr. Speaker, in conclusion, the efforts in Zoar are an outstanding example of the ways in which local government, business, citizens, and students work together in a positive manner, in a partnership to enhance the quality of life in our small towns and rural areas. Efforts such as these deserve our praise and support.”
