HR96: HR96 Dr. Gregory B. Levett, Sr. Parkway; DeKalb County; dedicate

This resolution honors Dr. Gregory B. Levett, Sr., a DeKalb County funeral director who co-founded Gregory B. Levett & Sons Funeral Homes & Crematory in 1980 with his wife Betty. The resolution recounts his business's growth, his community leadership roles, awards he has received, and his family's charitable giving. The operative part of the resolution designates the portion of State Route 155 running from I-285 to Snapfinger Road in DeKalb County as the Dr. Gregory B. Levett, Sr. Parkway. It directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to put up and maintain signs marking the new name, and it directs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to Dr. Levett and to the Department of Transportation.

• Directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the newly named parkway.

The resolution directly affects Dr. Gregory B. Levett, Sr. and his family, the Georgia Department of Transportation, which must install signage, and residents and drivers in DeKalb County who use the renamed section of State Route 155.
