Jeremy Chapman requesting confirmation that the USACE has completely abandoned any plans to rename Lake Lanier and Buford Dam.\n\nIn the letter, Rep. Clyde highlights the importance of keeping these names:\n\n\u201cI have been one of the strongest advocates for preserving the historic names of Lake Lanier and Buford Dam. The names of these landmarks have established a unique identity for our community. Renaming them would cause needless confusion and tremendous costs for local businesses and area residents. Worse yet, it would be erasing part of our region\u2019s heritage and tradition.\u201d\n\nThe Congressman notes his appreciation of the USACE for its decision to \u201cindefinitely pause\u201d its unwarranted efforts to rename Lake Lanier and Buford Dam but adds that the Ninth District deserves clarity on the issue:\n\n\u201cWhile the pause in the renaming process was an encouraging development, I believe it is necessary to make it plain that the renaming efforts have been fully and entirely terminated \u2014 not just suspended indefinitely. The people of Northeast Georgia deserve assurances that the Lake Lanier and Buford Dam nomenclature will be with us long into the future.\u201d\n\nRead the full letter HERE.\n\nMore on Rep.
