COLUMBUS – The House Transportation Committee today passed House Bill 320, which will designate Al Oliver Highway, announced bill sponsor, State Rep. Justin Pizzulli (R-Scioto County).
Pizzulli, during sponsor testimony, expressed, "This highway will serve as a constant reminder of the potential each one of us has to achieve greatness no matter who we are or where we come from. It will be a piece of daily inspiration for our youth and source of great pride for all Ohioans who travel this route."
The legislation aims to designate a portion of OH-125 in Portsmouth, Ohio as Al Oliver Highway in honor of the Major League Baseball (MLB) legend. Apart from his MLB accomplishments, Oliver was also a registered minister and ordained deacon. His legacy is prominently displayed on the Portsmouth Floodwall Murals.
