A Senate resolution would name the intersection of State Route 306/Sawnee Drive and State Route 9/Dahlonega Street in Forsyth County the Senator Greg Dolezal Intersection, honoring Senator Gregory Robert Dolezal.
In plain language
This resolution from the Georgia General Assembly honors State Senator Gregory Robert Dolezal, who represents District 27, by dedicating a specific road intersection in Forsyth County in his name. The text recounts his background, including his career in video production and technology, his role as a founder of the company Renewed Vision, and his service in the Senate since 2019 on committees including Transportation and Science and Technology. The operative part of the resolution names the intersection of State Route 306/Sawnee Drive and State Route 9/Dahlonega Street as the Senator Greg Dolezal Intersection. It directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to put up and maintain signs marking the dedication, and it directs the Secretary of the Senate to send copies of the resolution to Senator Dolezal and to the Department of Transportation.
