Rep. Johnson offers House recognition for Lilburn at centennial birthday bash
Rep. Johnson, who represents DeKalb, Rockdale and parts of Gwinnett County, offered Mayor Diana Preston, City Council and Lilburn residents a proclamation naming the city’s birthday – July 27 – as “Lilburn Day in the Fourth District.
Congressman Johnson also read a brief excerpt from H. Res. 1642, legislation he submitted that is an official recognition for the city of Lilburn from the House of Representatives.
The resolution is expected to pass later this year.
“I’m honored to be here today for your 100th birthday celebration and Greenway Trail ribbon cutting,” said Rep. Johnson. “I commend the mayor and this council for honoring the past while planning for the future.”
Mayor Preston introduced Rep. Johnson.
“Congressman Johnson and his office were instrumental in ensuring federal funds came to Lilburn to help recover from the floods last year,” said Preston. “We appreciate Congressman Johnson introducing this resolution recognizing our great city.”
