PETER DEUTSCH\n\n                               of florida\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                        Monday, October 21, 1996\n\n  Mr. DEUTSCH. Mr. Speaker, I want to join my colleagues from south\nFlorida in support of a new, significant economic development project\nwhich is planned for Homestead, FL. This project involves the\nestablishment of a Motorsports Exhibition and Education Center as part\nof the existing South Dade/Homestead Motorsports Complex.\n  Mr. Speaker, in 1992, Homestead and South Dade County experienced\nextreme damage from Hurricane Andrew which destroyed countless homes\nand businesses. In the years since the hurricane, we in south Florida\nhave worked hard to restore and revitalize the economy of this\ncommunity. It takes a true partnership of government and business to\nmake such an economic recovery. The Motorsports Exhibition Center is an\nexample of such a partnership. The city of Homestead and a number of\nbusinesses involved in the Motorsports Speedway have joined together in\na nonprofit foundation to seek funding for establishment of the\nexhibition center which is expected to draw some half million tourists\nto the Motorsports Complex each year. The project will create hundreds\nof jobs throughout the South Dade area.\n  Mr. Speaker, the city of Homestead has indicated that it plans to\napproach the Economic Development Administration [EDA] for partial\nfunding of the Exhibition Center. We are hopeful that the agency will\nmove expeditiously to review the project so that it may consider\nfunding in fiscal year 1997.\n\n[[Page E1945]]\n\n  Finally, Mr. Speaker, I want to express my support for the job that\nEDA has been doing in Florida and around the country in addressing\nlocal economic development needs. I look forward to working with the\nEDA officials in our region on the Motorsports Exhibition Center\nproject.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-1996-10-21-pt1-PgE1944-4"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 8.102169027552009, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
