Congressman Johnson's resolution honoring Lilburn passes U.S. House
Rep. Johnson joined Lilburn Mayor Diana Preston, city officials and residents at City Park on Sept. 25 to celebrate Lilburn’s birthday and the Greenway Trail ribbon cutting.
Rep. Johnson, who represents parts of DeKalb, Rockdale and Gwinnett counties, offered Mayor Preston, City Council members and residents a proclamation naming the city’s birthday – July 27 – as “Lilburn Day in the Fourth District.”
On Tuesday evening from the House floor, Rep. Johnson was pleased to officially pass the Lilburn resolution.
“If you’ve ever been to Lilburn, you know it’s a special place,” said Rep. Johnson from the House floor. “It took smart, progressive planning by city leaders and an engaged, informed citizenry to become the city it is today. Congratulations Lilburn!”
Mayor Preston welcomed the news and plans to have the resolution on display in City Hall.
“I want to thank Congressman Johnson for introducing the resolution and ensuring its passage,” Preston said. “We know we’re a small town, but having this official recognition from Congress makes a big difference.”
