Last action January 29, 2025 · House Second Readers
A House resolution would name the bridge on State Route 100 over Turkey Creek in Carroll County the Masen "Mase" McIntyre Memorial Bridge in honor of the late Bowdon High School graduate.
In plain language
This resolution honors Masen "Mase" Aubrey McIntyre II, a Carroll County native and Bowdon High School graduate who played football and tennis before joining his father's business, M3 Logging. The resolution recounts his athletic achievements, including All-Region honors and a Golden Helmet Award, and describes him as a generous and well liked young man. The operative effect of the resolution is to dedicate the bridge on State Route 100 over Turkey Creek in Carroll County as the Masen "Mase" McIntyre Memorial Bridge. It directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the dedication, and directs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to McIntyre's family and to the Department of Transportation.
