Senate Joint Resolution 607 recognizes Steve Borden of the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) on the occasion of his retirement after a remarkable thirty-four-year career. Mr. Borden, who currently serves as Region 1 Director, began his journey with TDOT as an intern, following a family legacy of service in the department. Over the years, he has demonstrated exceptional leadership, particularly noted for his proactive response during the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, and has been instrumental in building a dedicated team in Region 1.

The resolution commends Mr. Borden for his professionalism, dedication, and integrity, which have earned him the respect of his colleagues and the citizens of Tennessee. As he embarks on his well-deserved retirement, the resolution expresses best wishes for his future endeavors and acknowledges the lasting impact of his contributions to TDOT and the state. An appropriate copy of the resolution will be prepared for presentation to honor his service.
