AI Summary
- Recognizes and commends the Georgia Sentinel Landscape Partnership, a federal conservation initiative created by the U.S. Departments of Defense, Agriculture, and the Interior to protect landscapes critical to military readiness and working economies
- Georgia was designated as a Sentinel Landscape in 2017, encompassing approximately 1.3 million acres of open space supporting military operations, agriculture, forestry, and natural resources
- Georgia's military installations—including Fort Stewart, Fort Benning, Fort Gordon, Robins Air Force Base, Moody Air Force Base, and others—support more than 254,000 people and generate an annual economic impact exceeding $20 billion
- Over 42,000 farms contribute billions to Georgia's economy, with one in seven Georgians working in agriculture, forestry, or related fields; preserving compatible land uses near military installations protects both agricultural and defense interests
- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press
