State Representative Carl Gilliard, who chairs the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus, is set to host a road dedication event in partnership with Chatham County. The event will honor the late Chairman Pete Liakakis with a memorial interchange. It is scheduled for Thursday, October 10, 2024, at 11 a.m. at the Chatham County Board of Commissioners in Savannah.
Rep. Gilliard expressed his admiration for Chairman Liakakis, stating: “Chairman Liakakis was a champion of unity for the community. He volunteered and gave his life to the people of Chatham County. He often stated that ‘there is one race and that is the human race, and we are all God’s children.’”
During this year's legislative session, Rep. Gilliard sponsored House Resolution 1250 to honor Mr. Peter Liakakis's life by dedicating an interchange in Chatham County in his memory.
The program will include a brief ceremony followed by a motorcade to the newly named Chairman Pete Liakakis Memorial Interchange.
For further details about the event, interested parties can contact Rep. Gilliard at 912-436-5325.
