House Resolution 724 is a ceremonial resolution recognizing and commending the Historic Norcross Business Association (HNBA) for its role in supporting the Historic District of Norcross. The resolution highlights the organization’s formation in 2019, its representation of local family-owned businesses, and its efforts to promote the district’s economic and cultural vitality.
The resolution also notes HNBA’s collaboration with city officials, the Norcross City Council, and the Downtown Development Authority, as well as its sponsorship of community events such as Irish Fest, Witches Night Out, and Victorian Christmas Village. It further acknowledges the association’s branding efforts through “The Heart of Norcross” and its online presence to promote local businesses and events.
