Bill > HB451

This bill enacts a new section in the Ohio Revised Code to designate a specific portion of Interstate 70 in Franklin and Fairfield counties as the "CPL Lindsey William Mitchell Memorial Highway." Specifically, the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 between Brice Road and State Route 256 will be officially named in honor of CPL (Corporal) Lindsey William Mitchell. The bill authorizes the director of transportation to install appropriate highway markers that display the memorial highway's name. While the bill does not provide background on CPL Mitchell, the naming of a highway after an individual is typically done to honor a person's service, potentially a military servicemember who may have made significant sacrifices. This type of legislative memorial is a common way for states to recognize and remember individuals who have served their community or country.
