Bill > S1280

This bill, known as the Down East Remembrance Act, is a legislative measure to officially rename six creeks in North Carolina in honor of individuals who lost their lives in a plane crash in Carteret County on February 13, 2022. Specifically, the bill provides precise geographical coordinates for each creek and designates them 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. The bill ensures that any future references to these waterways in official documents, maps, laws, regulations, or records will use the newly designated names, effectively creating a permanent memorial to commemorate the lives lost in this tragic event. By officially renaming these geographic features, the legislation provides a lasting tribute to the individuals who perished in the plane crash, allowing their memory to be preserved in the local landscape.
