HR378: HR378 Georgia Airports Association Day; February 27, 2025; recognize

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any law. Instead, it recognizes February 27, 2025, as Georgia Airports Association Day, citing the economic role of Georgia's 103 publicly owned airports, which the resolution says generate $73.7 billion in annual economic activity and support more than 450,000 jobs with $20.2 billion in payroll. The resolution also praises the Georgia Airports Association, founded in 1990, for providing training, networking, and industry information to its member airports. It directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the association as a formal gesture of recognition.
