Congratulations! Rep. Debbie Buckner (D-Junction City) received a 2024 “Champion of Georgia’s Cities Award” from the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA). GMA Director of Governmental Relations and former LaGrange Mayor Jim Thornton presented this award to Rep. Buckner at the recent LaGrange City Council meeting. The award is given at the end of every two-year legislative term to state legislators who actively support major GMA initiatives and goals. Rep. Buckner has long been an advocate for city revitalization and in particular the redevelopment of downtowns and historic structures. She was the principal advocate and the House sponsor for legislation that ultimately became SB 496, which extended and expanded the state historic tax credit and extended the state revitalization zone tax credit.?Both tax credits are of value and benefit to many Georgia cities. ? In addition, Rep. Buckner was a principal advocate during the 2024 session for Georgia cities in opposing the expansion of private water systems without municipal oversight. ? “Representative Buckner has long been a supporter of the cities in her district and throughout the state,” said GMA CEO & Executive Director Larry Hanson.?“She knows the important work done by cities and works closely with GMA to advance legislation that aids cities, supports their revitalization, and benefits their residents.” ? Based in Atlanta, GMA is a voluntary, non-profit organization that provides legislative advocacy, educational, employee benefits, and consulting services to its 536 member cities.
