House Joint Resolution 1460 honors East Port Marina & Resort and the DeVries family for their significant contributions to the local community and their commitment to quality service. Established in 1965 and owned by Richard and Wendy DeVries from 2007 to 2024, the marina has become a beloved destination on Dale Hollow Lake, known for its pet-friendly atmosphere and community involvement. The DeVries family has actively supported local initiatives, including sponsoring high school fishing teams and providing scholarships to students through the Dale Hollow Explorer visitor guide.

The resolution also highlights the resilience of East Port Marina, particularly during a hazardous storm in 2020, which showcased the strong community support for the business. As Nathan and Lee Ellen DeVries take over the management of the marina, the resolution commends Richard and Wendy DeVries for their exemplary tenure and wishes the new generation success in continuing the legacy of East Port Marina & Resort.
