In plain language

It recounts the city's history, including its 2022 incorporation vote, its naming after Scottish immigrant Robert Mable, the arrival of the Georgia Pacific Railway in 1881, and features like the Silver Comet Trail and Six Flags over Georgia. The resolution does not change any Georgia law.
