HR 1120: YKK AP America, Inc.; significant contributions to economic development, manufacturing innovation, and community partnerships in Middle Georgia; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It honors YKK AP America Inc., a manufacturing company with over 50 years of business history in Georgia, for its work in Middle Georgia, particularly Macon-Bibb County. The resolution cites the company's safety record, a $125 million, 400,000-square-foot residential manufacturing facility that created over 100 jobs, a national sustainability award, an international acquisition, and ties to Mercer University and Macon-Bibb's Sister City relationship with Kurobe, Japan.
