Bill > S2382

This bill amends Chapter 29 of the 1997 acts to officially designate specific segments of Massachusetts state highways as the "General Lafayette Trail". The designated route includes portions of Route 9, Route 32, Route 20, and Stafford Street, connecting several towns including Belchertown, Ware, Worcester, Fiskdale, and Sturbridge. The trail follows a roughly east-west path, linking various intersections and roadways that trace a route associated with General Lafayette, a key figure in the American Revolutionary War. The Massachusetts Department of Highways will be responsible for erecting and maintaining appropriate trail markers along these highway segments to identify and commemorate the General Lafayette Trail. By creating this official trail designation, the bill aims to recognize historical travel routes and potentially promote local historical tourism by highlighting Lafayette's connections to these Massachusetts communities.
