Bill > SR229

This resolution recognizes Rudy Bowen, a longtime Gwinnett County resident and business leader, for his significant contributions to the community and his distinguished service on the Georgia Department of Transportation Board. The resolution highlights Bowen's achievements, including founding Bowen Family Homes in 1969, where he constructed approximately 50 high-quality homes annually, and his extensive community involvement across various boards such as the Lake Lanier Recreational Authority and Gwinnett Airport Authority. Of particular note is his 19-year tenure on the Georgia Department of Transportation Board, during which he served twice as chairman and helped ensure critical roadwork and maintenance projects remained on schedule. The resolution also acknowledges Bowen's multigenerational family legacy in homebuilding, with his children and grandchildren continuing the family business, and celebrates his being named the 2024 Gwinnett Citizen of the Year by the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce. The document formally commends Bowen for his service, extends wishes for his future health and happiness, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide him with an official copy of the resolution.
