In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Sugarloaf Community Improvement District, formed on May 17, 2016, for reaching its 10th anniversary of operation in Gwinnett County. The resolution highlights the district's role in the local economy, citing that it accounts for 7 percent of Gwinnett County's jobs and a $15.4 billion annual economic impact on Georgia. It also praises the district's public improvement projects, such as roadway and intersection work, transit upgrades, sidewalks, trails, security cameras, landscaping, and public art including a large underpass mural. The House formally commends the district and directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.

What the bill does

  • Formally recognizes and commends the Sugarloaf Community Improvement District on its 10th anniversary of formation.
  • States the House's gratitude for the district's contributions to Gwinnett County and Georgia's economy.
  • Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
  • Does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia statute or allocate any state funding.

Who it affects

The resolution directly names the Sugarloaf Community Improvement District and its stakeholders in Gwinnett County, including residents, workers, and visitors in House District 96. It also involves the Clerk of the House, who must distribute copies of the resolution.

Why it matters

Because this is a commendatory resolution rather than legislation, it has no legal effect on Georgians outside of formal recognition. Its practical significance is symbolic: it publicly acknowledges the district's decade of infrastructure and economic development work in Gwinnett County.

Key provisions

  • The resolution recites the district's formation date of May 17, 2016, and its economic figures, including 7 percent of Gwinnett County's jobs and a $15.4 billion annual economic impact.
  • It lists specific improvements funded by the district, including roadway and intersection projects, transit upgrades, sidewalks, trails, security cameras, landscaping, and signage.
  • The final resolved clause formally commends the district and extends well wishes for its future.
  • A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and press.
