Bill > HCR0006

This concurrent resolution urges the Indiana Department of Transportation to rename a specific portion of State Road 5 (stretching from State Road 218 to State Road 22) as the "Ralph Duckwall Memorial Highway" in honor of Ralph Duckwall, a prominent local figure from Van Buren, Indiana. Duckwall was a farmer and community leader who served as a State Representative for the Grant County area from 1976 to 1986, held various local leadership positions including roles on the County Council and school board, and was actively involved in community organizations. He was recognized with the Sagamore of the Wabash award by Governor Robert Orr and was particularly known for his efforts to keep State Highway 5 through Van Buren to Upland open. The resolution requires the Principal Clerk of the House of Representatives to transmit copies of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Transportation, formally requesting the highway designation in recognition of Duckwall's significant local contributions.
