Last week we were honored to welcome Senator Drew Echols to South Hall Rotary; where he shared valuable updates on economic development and key legislative efforts impacting Georgia communities.
Senator Echols spoke about his transition from floor leader to chairmanship. He also highlighted his work in the Appropriations Committee and discussed several important initiatives, including a $425 million mental health facility planned for Atlanta, as wells as $45 million dedicated to addressing homelessness.
He also shared exciting news about the passage of a literacy bill to place literacy coaches in every elementary school and provide additional resources for teachers.
Thank you Senator Echols for taking the time to speak to our club and share these important updates.
