HR 886: Rachel Hodge Memorial Intersection; Camden County; dedicate

This resolution from the Georgia General Assembly recognizes Rachel Hodge, a Camden County native who worked as an Emergency 9-1-1 Communications Officer with the Camden County Sheriff's Office, following her father's path as a Department of Natural Resources law enforcement officer.

The resolution designates the intersection of State Route 25 Spur/Satilla Bluff Road and Pine Forest Drive in Camden County as the Rachel Hodge Memorial Intersection. It directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the dedication, and it instructs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to Hodge's family and to the Department of Transportation.
