Today, Congressman Bill Huizenga (MI-02) honored Grandville Mayor Jim Buck on the House floor for his commitment, dedication, and service to West Michigan:

Remarks:

I rise today to say thank you to a friend of mine, Mayor James R. Buck, who has dedicated 45 years of service to the City of Grandville in the Second District and has served the last 29 years as mayor.

Mayor Buck has been recognized countless times for his leadership and commitment to West Michigan. Most recently he received the Michigan Municipal League's Michael A. Guido Leadership and Public Service Award.

In addition to his role as Mayor, Jim serves as the Chairman of the Grand Valley Metropolitan Council, which plays a leading role in fostering public and private cooperation to enhance the quality of life in West Michigan.

Under the steady leadership of Mayor Buck, Grandville has grown and thrived. Grandville would not be the city it is today without Jim and his impact will be felt forever and recognized by all.

I want to personally thank my friend, Jim Buck, for his dedication and service to our community.

Your long days and hard hours have put Grandville on the map as a destination to do business, visit, and most importantly live.

Mayor Buck, thank you for what you have done not only for Grandville, not only for West Michigan, but for all of Michigan and our country.

Enjoy the time off. Thanks Jim.
