Lawrenceville selected 12 volunteers Monday to serve on the Hooper-Renwick Legacy Preservation Committee: Theresa Bailey, Constance Brown, Pastor Ronald Dunnigan, Gary Glenn, Rory Johnson, Greg Lott, John Maxey, Joyce Moore, Rubye Neal, Johnny Smith, Marlene Taylor-Crawford, and Gwendolyn Brown Taylor.
“Our purpose is to find solutions that help the city achieve its goals for redeveloping the downtown while simultaneously honoring a significant piece of Lawrenceville’s history,” said Mayor Judy Jordan Johnson.
The Committee has been formed to engage and involve the Hooper-Renwick community and outline multiple options for honoring and preserving the legacy and impact of Hooper-Renwick.
The Hooper Renwick Legacy Preservation Committee is expected to meet once a month for a one-year term with possible trips to local parks, museums, and historic sites to gather information on the best way to honor and preserve the legacy of Hooper-Renwick. The City has selected the Carl Vinson Institute at the University of Georgia to conduct the meetings and will consider other consultants along the way to potentially provide conceptual visioning of various options.
