Bill > HB459

This bill designates a specific stretch of Pennsylvania Route 352 (Middletown Road) between Gradyville Road in Edgmont Township and North Pennell Road in Middletown Township as the "Chief Joseph J. Montgomery, Jr. Memorial Highway" to honor a local community servant. The bill provides background on Montgomery, highlighting his significant community contributions, including 30 years as a paramedic, lifetime membership in local fire companies, work with Delaware County Park Police, ownership of Pro Rescue (a training business for CPR and first aid), and involvement with the Boy Scouts of America. Montgomery, who was raised in Gradyville and graduated from Penncrest High School in 1987, passed away in September 2023 at age 54. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is required to erect and maintain highway signs displaying the memorial name, and the designation will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage, serving to permanently commemorate Montgomery's lifelong dedication to public service and community support.
