This resolution seeks to honor Ronnie W. Matthews, a well-respected local businessman and public servant from Putnam County, West Virginia, by naming a specific bridge in his memory. The bridge, located at the I-64 Nitro Interchange in Putnam County (Bridge Number 40-064/00-044.47), would be officially designated as the "Private Ronnie W. Matthews Memorial Bridge." The resolution highlights Matthews' significant community contributions, including his service as Putnam County Circuit Clerk, his military service in the United States Army, his involvement in various local organizations like the Masonic Lodge and American Legion, and his commitment to the Republican Party. The resolution also requests the Division of Highways to create and install commemorative signs identifying the bridge and directs the House Clerk to forward a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways, ensuring that Matthews' legacy is publicly recognized and remembered.
