Part of Highway 29 to be Renamed Veterans Memorial Parkway Today

Today is Veterans Day and two special ceremonies will be taking place in Hart County today and Friday in honor of our veterans.

This afternoon at 2p, there will be a special ceremony to rename a portion of Highway 29 between Hartwell and Royston Veterans Memorial Highway.

The Hartwell Post 109 of the American Legion will host the event which will be held at 2p at Tabernacle Baptist Church across from Nancy Hart Cemetery in Hartwell.

State Representative Alan Powell will be the guest speaker.

Powell sponsored House Resolution 285 which passed this past legislative session, authorizing the renaming of that stretch of Highway 29 the Veterans Memorial Highway.

Then on Friday at 2p, Post 109 will host a similar event at the intersection of Veterans Memorial Highway and Golf Course Road.

That intersection will be renamed the American Legion Post 109 Intersection.

The public, especially veterans, are invited to attend both ceremonies this afternoon and Friday afternoon.

Anyone with questions can contact the American Legion Post 109 in Hartwell (678) 895-6554.
