4 <br /> 1 Former Congressman David Price said he is very appreciative to receive this resolution <br /> 2 from the Board of his home county. He said he said he has collaborated with the Board on many <br /> 3 community projects in past years. He said they received from the federal government for the <br /> 4 Piedmont Food Processing Center, the development of infrastructure along 1-85, the Farmer's <br /> 5 Market in downtown Hillsborough, and numerous projects in the southern part of the county. He <br /> 6 said there have been major undertakings that were team efforts along the way. He said the <br /> 7 support from the Board of County Commissioners and county commissioners across the state <br /> 8 and around the country have been critical in pushing Congress in doing what needed to be done <br /> 9 in developing infrastructure, investing in manufacturing, reducing dependence on foreign <br /> 10 resources, investing in clean energy, addressing climate change, and making healthcare more <br /> 11 affordable and accessible. He said he is proud of these undertakings. He said there are narrow <br /> 12 margins in the House and Senate over the past two years and feels like this is a good finale for <br /> 13 him. He said he was glad to hear about the work on broadband infrastructure in Orange County <br /> 14 and said there has been a gap in broadband funding for a long time. He said the 4t" district has <br /> 15 at one time or another been in twelve different counties. He said he doesn't think it was great that <br /> 16 the districts have fluctuated as much as they have, but Orange County has always been in the <br /> 17 district and he has enjoyed representing his home county. He said it's the honor of his life to be <br /> 18 called Representative in the U.S. House for this area he loves. <br /> 19 The Board took a photo with former Congressman Price. <br /> 20 Vice Chair McKee said one thing that was not mentioned in the resolution was <br /> 21 Representative Price's dedication to constituents. He said he first met him at an event in Chapel <br /> 22 Hill, and was blown away by the courtesy and attentiveness he showed him. He said <br /> 23 Representative Price mentored and guided him in his service on the Board of County <br /> 24 Commissioners. <br /> 25 Former Congressman Price said it was such an honor to receive this resolution at a facility <br /> 26 named after Richard E. Whitted. He said he was a dear friend and was instrumental in his decision <br /> 27 to run for office. He said Mr. Whitted was a wonderful man and public servant and his life was cut <br /> 28 short far too soon. He said it is a wonderful tribute that his name is on this facility. He said it feels <br /> 29 like he has come full circle to receive the recognition in a facility named for Richard Whitted. <br /> 30 <br /> 31 b.
