Sen. Butch Miller, R-Gainesville, has been named the 2014 Technology Legislator of the Year by the Technology Association of Georgia.

“TAG is appreciative of Sen. Miller’s efforts to advance technology throughout the state of Georgia. The passage of the Mobile BILD Act officially streamlines and standardizes aspects of local review of wireless facilities. We believe the new process will give Georgia communities improved access to mobile support while allowing mobile companies a process to enhance wireless capabilities within these communities,” said Tino Mantella, TAG president and CEO.

“As we continue to move toward a modernized, technologically advanced workforce, it is important that we implement sound public policy that recognizes the growing importance of wireless infrastructure in our economy,” Miller said.

TAG will present the award before technology leaders and stakeholders June 17.
