A Georgia House resolution would name the intersection of State Route 54 and Tyrone Road in Fayette County the Marvin R. Adams Memorial Intersection, honoring his community service.

### Plain-language summary

This House resolution honors Mr. Marvin R. Adams, a former Fayette County Board of Commissioners member credited with helping establish the county's Zoning Department and with running a farm that served the community for over 50 years.
The resolution directs that the intersection of State Route 54 and Tyrone Road in Fayette County be dedicated as the Marvin R. Adams Memorial Intersection. It instructs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the dedication, and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send copies of the resolution to Mr. Adams' family and to the Department of Transportation.
