	H.R. No. 215



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Oil City Iron Works was named the Small Employer of
	the Year by Workforce Solutions for North Central Texas at the
	organization's 26th Annual Awards of Excellence on January 25,
	2023; and
	WHEREAS, Every year, Workforce Solutions for North Central
	Texas recognizes partners that have gone above and beyond to serve
	customers in the organization's 14-county service area; the Small
	Employer of the Year award highlights a private-sector employer
	with fewer than 500 employees that has taken initiatives benefiting
	current and future workers and individuals with challenges that
	make entering the workforce difficult; and
	WHEREAS, Oil City Iron Works traces its origins back to 1866,
	when the original machine shop and foundry was established in
	Corsicana; the company initially produced parts for cotton gins,
	brick presses, and castings for the building industry, but it has
	since diversified its line of products to include valves, pumps,
	gas turbine and compression parts, and mining and oilfield
	equipment; the business took on its current name in 1898 in
	recognition of the oil boom that was happening in Corsicana at the
	time; and
	WHEREAS, Through its exceptional efforts, Oil City Iron Works
	has made important contributions to the vitality and prosperity of
	North Central Texas, and it is indeed deserving of this most recent
	honor; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate Oil City Iron Works on being named
	the Small Employer of the Year by Workforce Solutions for North
	Central Texas and extend to all those associated with the company
	sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Oil City Iron Works as an expression of high regard by
	the Texas House of Representatives.

	Harris of Anderson
