HR338: HR338 Association of Georgia General Aviation Airports; an industry association for general aviation airports in the State of Georgia and its corporate affiliates; commend

Last action February 20, 2025 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution formally recognizes the Association of Georgia General Aviation Airports for its work supporting general aviation airports across the state.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Association of Georgia General Aviation Airports (AGGAA), a nonprofit founded in 2021 that represents the 95 general aviation airports in Georgia and their role in the state's economy. The resolution states that these airports support industries like technology, manufacturing, distribution, tourism, and agriculture, and cites an economic impact of more than $2 billion. It names AGGAA's board members and directs the Clerk of the House to give the association a copy of the resolution as a token of recognition.
