HR1586: HR1586 Marvin R. Adams Memorial Intersection; Fayette County; dedicate

Last action March 9, 2026 · House Second Readers

A House resolution would honor the late Marvin R. Adams by naming the intersection of State Route 54 and Tyrone Road in Fayette County the Marvin R. Adams Memorial Intersection.

In plain language

This resolution recognizes Marvin R. Adams, a former Fayette County Board of Commissioners member credited with helping establish the county's zoning department and who ran a farm that served local shoppers for over 50 years. It does not change any Georgia law but instead formally honors his memory. The resolution designates the intersection of State Route 54 and Tyrone Road in Fayette County as the Marvin R. Adams Memorial Intersection. It directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to put up and maintain signs marking the new name, and it directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send copies of the resolution to Adams' family and to the Department of Transportation.
