HR 724: Historic Norcross Business Association; commend

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors the Historic Norcross Business Association (HNBA), a nonprofit founded in March 2019 that represents local, family-owned businesses in Norcross' Historic District. The resolution describes the group's work with the Norcross City Council, the Downtown Development Authority, and city officials, as well as its community events like Irish Fest, Witches Night Out, and the Victorian Christmas Village, and its online branding as 'The Heart of Norcross.' The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It simply states that the House of Representatives recognizes and commends the association and directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to the group.
