During a special speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Leonard Lance congratulated Warren Township for being named the Sixth Best Place to Live by Money Magazine.

CONGRESSMAN LANCE: Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Warren Township, New Jersey for being named one of Money Magazine’s top 100 places to live for 2009.

Warren Township was ranked sixth in the magazine’s annual rankings.

Located in the heart of the Watchung Mountains just 35 miles west of New York City in Somerset County, New Jersey, Warren Township is not your typical big-city suburb.

Once described as "the greenest place in New Jersey,” Warren Township is home to major corporations like Chubb Insurance and Citigroup. Yet the community retains its rural character through open space and its 72 working farms.

Good schools and family-friendly township recreation offerings among other things, make Warren Township just one of the many great places in New Jersey to live, work and raise a family.

Congratulations to Warren Township. I am proud to be the Township’s representative in Washington.

I yield back.
