In plain language

This resolution memorializes Hassan Raheem Glasgow, who was born in 1993 in Key West, Florida, graduated from King's Fork High School in Suffolk, Virginia, and worked at Emory University as a computer support specialist. The resolution recounts his personal qualities and contributions to those around him. The operative part of the resolution designates the portion of State Route 540 in Washington County between State Route 231 and the Jefferson County line as the Hassan Raheem Glasgow Memorial Highway. It directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the dedication, and directs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to Glasgow's family and to the Department of Transportation.
