CONYERS, GA—Three retired city of Conyers employees who each served more than 40 years were honored at the unveiling of the Conyers Employee Wall of Fame outside of Conyers City Hall on July 11.
Former Public Works superintendent George Duren retired from the city in April 2018 with 42 years of service. He was the first city employee to reach the 40 years of service milestone. Also honored were Marvin Flanigan, former director of Planning and Inspection Services, who retired in April 2024 with 43 years of service, and former city manager and chief of police Tony Lucas, who retired in May 2024 with 40 years of service.
“The city is fortunate to have such dedicated employees and we wanted to publicly honor them in a way where anyone driving by or coming to do business at Conyers City Hall would see their names and know the time and commitment George, Marvin and Tony gave to the citizens of Conyers,” said City Manager Kameron Kelley.
The Employee Wall of Fame is located on the landscape wall of City Hall, at the base of the front stairs. Mayor Vince Evans addressed city employees, honorees and their family members who gathered Thursday morning for the unveiling and dedication and echoed the remarks given by Kelley.
“When you drive around the city, you see the names of former, long-serving elected officials on buildings like the Charles C. Walker Arena at the Georgia International Horse Park, or Randal S. Mills City Center Park at the Olde Town Pavilion, and the Cleveland “Coach” Stroud Community Center on Veal Street, said Evans. “The three men being recognized today are worthy of such recognition in their own right for the jobs they’ve done as loyal city employees and we’re excited to thank them in this way.”
