A
RESOLUTION
Recognizing
and commending the Buckhead Coalition for its support of the production of
Ethanol fuel and cleaner air; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
the Buckhead Coalition is a nonprofit organization of volunteers that
collaborates with other neighborhood organizations to represent the views and
concerns of residents of the North Atlanta community, and its mission is "to
nurture the quality of life in Buckhead"; and
WHEREAS,
the Buckhead Coalition has moved forward aggressively with strong guidance from
its distinguished leaders, Chairman David P. Stockert and President Sam Massell;
and
WHEREAS,
this amazing organization continues to work hard to place the North Atlanta
community into an air pollution control movement with a goal of improving the
air quality of this area; and
WHEREAS,
the Buckhead Coalition is offering $5,000.00 grants to gasoline stations within
the Buckhead area to install ethanol pumps, and the federal government is also
offering grants up to $30,000.00 for the installation of such pumps;
and
WHEREAS,
the use of ethanol fuels not only provides cleaner air and aids national energy
security but such use also presents a potentially dramatic economic benefit to
this state by supporting state industries in ethanol manufacturing, as currently
in Georgia, there is one ethanol manufacturing plant in operation, one plant
under construction, and three more planned for construction; and
WHEREAS,
without such supportive measures as those implemented by the Buckhead Coalition,
ethanol will not be readily accessible to the consumers of this state; and
WHEREAS,
it is only fitting and proper that this organization be recognized for its
outstanding public service.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of
this body recognize the Buckhead Coalition for its many contributions to the
welfare of its community and this state and commend the coalition for its
efforts in supporting the use and production of ethanol fuel.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Chairman
David P. Stockert, President Sam Massell, and the Buckhead Coalition.
