Summary — H.R. 724: Recognizing and commending the Historic Norcross Business Association

Status: House Read and Adopted (resolution)
Introduced: January 24, 2025
Classification: House Resolution (ceremonial)

Purpose

H.R. 724 is a ceremonial resolution that recognizes and commends the Historic Norcross Business Association (HNBA) for its contributions to the Historic District of Norcross. It is intended to honor the association’s community and business development work and to extend best wishes for its continued success.

Key provisions

  • Officially recognizes the HNBA and commends its work on behalf of the Historic District of Norcross.
  • Notes that HNBA is a 501(c)(3) organization formally established in March 2019.
  • Highlights HNBA activities and roles, including:
    • Representing common business interests of local, family‑owned businesses in the Historic District.
    • Collaborating with Norcross City Council, the Downtown Development Authority, and city officials on development and advocacy.
    • Organizing free, family‑friendly events such as Irish Fest, Witches Night Out, and the Victorian Christmas Village.
    • Branding and outreach through “The Heart of Norcross” online hub (theheartofnorcross.com) and social media.
  • Directs the Clerk of the House to make an appropriate copy of the resolution available for distribution to the HNBA.

Who is affected

  • Primary beneficiary: Historic Norcross Business Association (HNBA).
  • Secondary: local businesses in Norcross’s Historic District, residents, visitors, and municipal partners (City Council, Downtown Development Authority).
  • No regulatory, tax, or budgetary changes — the resolution is purely honorary.
