A RESOLUTION

Recognizing Lieutenant Colonel Larry Buford Boggs and dedicating an intersection in his honor; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, Lieutenant Colonel Larry Buford Boggs has deep roots in Carroll County, Georgia, as a graduate of Villa Rica High School, where he was a proud member of the school's varsity football team during a time when helmets had no face guard which resulted in a broken nose and the loss of two teeth; and

WHEREAS, Lt. Col. Boggs earned his bachelor's degree from West Georgia College and shortly after was a guardian of this nation's freedom and liberty with the United States Marine Corps, serving in Virginia, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, and Cuba before retiring after 22 years of service with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel; and

WHEREAS, Lt. Col. Boggs began his professional career with United States Gypsum Corporation before founding Benchmark Homes and B&W Properties in 1971; and

WHEREAS, under his leadership, more than 3,000 homes were built and commercial and industrial projects exceeding $750 million in value were developed, significantly strengthening the region's tax base and economic vitality; and

WHEREAS, he played an instrumental role in the economic development of this state with the development of Arbor Place Mall in Douglas County, renovation of a 300,000 square foot facility now home to Sugar Foods Corporation, development of industrial sites near Liberty Road in Villa Rica, and the construction of facilities for the Tanner Health System and numerous manufacturing and warehouse projects in Carroll County; and

WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that this remarkable and distinguished Georgian be recognized appropriately by dedicating an intersection in his honor.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AND ENACTED BY THE GENERAL

ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that the intersection of the Villa Rica North Loop Bypass and Dallas Highway in Carroll County is dedicated as the Lt. Col. Larry Boggs Intersection. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Department of Transportation is authorized and directed to erect and maintain appropriate signs dedicating the Lt. Col. Larry Boggs Intersection.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to Lieutenant Colonel Larry Buford Boggs and to the Department of Transportation.
