HR1830: HR1830 Lt. Col. Larry Boggs Intersection; Carroll County; dedicate

Last action March 25, 2026 · House Second Readers

A Georgia House resolution would name the intersection of the Villa Rica North Loop Bypass and Dallas Highway in Carroll County the Lt. Col. Larry Boggs Intersection, honoring a local veteran and developer.

In plain language

This resolution from the Georgia General Assembly honors Lieutenant Colonel Larry Buford Boggs, a Carroll County native, Marine Corps veteran, and real estate developer. It recounts his education at Villa Rica High School and West Georgia College, his 22 years of military service, and his career founding Benchmark Homes and B&W Properties, which built thousands of homes and major commercial projects in the region. The resolution's operative effect is narrow: it dedicates the intersection of the Villa Rica North Loop Bypass and Dallas Highway in Carroll County as the Lt. Col. Larry Boggs Intersection. It directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the dedication, and instructs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to Boggs and to the Department of Transportation.

What the bill does

  • Officially dedicates the intersection of the Villa Rica North Loop Bypass and Dallas Highway in Carroll County as the Lt. Col. Larry Boggs Intersection.
  • Directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain appropriate signs marking the dedicated intersection.
  • Instructs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to Boggs and to the Department of Transportation.
  • Recites Boggs's biography, military service, and business career as the basis for the honor, with no other legal effect.

Who it affects

The resolution directly affects Lieutenant Colonel Larry Buford Boggs, the Georgia Department of Transportation, which must install and maintain the signage, and residents and drivers in Carroll County who use the newly named intersection.

Why it matters

The practical effect is limited to signage: drivers passing through Carroll County will see new signs naming the intersection after Boggs. It creates no new rights, funding, or regulations beyond directing the Department of Transportation to post the marker.

Key provisions

  • The resolving clause dedicates the intersection of the Villa Rica North Loop Bypass and Dallas Highway in Carroll County as the Lt. Col. Larry Boggs Intersection.
  • A further resolution clause authorizes and directs the Department of Transportation to erect and maintain appropriate signs for the dedication.
  • A final clause directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to Boggs and the Department of Transportation.
