Ceremony set for Capt. Herb Emory memorial

A ceremony to mark the dedication of the Ga. 400-Interstate 85 interchange as the “Captain Herb Emory Flyover Ramp” will be held at 1 p.m. July 22 at the state Capitol.

Sen. Mike Dugan (R- Carrollton) co-sponsored Senate Resolution 296 to name the interchange after him.

The state Legislature also passed House Resolution 398, sponsored by Rep. Micah Gravely, R-Douglasville, earlier this year, which dedicates the Lee Road bridge over Interstate 20 as the "Captain Herb Emory Memorial Bridge."
