Bill > HR2217

This bill proposes to officially rename six creeks in North Carolina to honor the memory of individuals who lost their lives in a plane crash in Carteret County on February 13, 2022. Specifically, the bill designates specific creeks with the names of the crash victims: Noah Styron Creek, Hunter Parks Creek, Kole McInnis Creek, Stephanie Fulcher Creek, Jacob Taylor Creek, and Daily Shepherd Creek. Each creek is precisely identified by its latitude and longitude coordinates. The bill includes a provision that any future references to these creeks in official government documents, maps, regulations, or records will use these new designated names. By creating this memorial through geographic naming, the bill aims to permanently commemorate the lives lost in this tragic incident and ensure that the memory of these individuals is preserved in the local landscape.
