State Rep. Justin Pizzulli | The Ohio House of Representatives
The Ohio House of Representatives has passed House Bill 380, which will name twenty-nine roads and bridges throughout the state. State Rep. Justin Pizzulli (R-Scioto County) announced the legislation's approval today.
Among the designations included in the bill is House Bill 320, also sponsored by Pizzulli. This bill will name a portion of OH-125 in Portsmouth, Ohio, as Al Oliver Highway in Scioto County. Al Oliver is recognized for his career as a Major League Baseball (MLB) legend.
“Naming this memorial highway is a small way to honor Mr. Oliver’s legacy and remind our kids they too can achieve greatness,” said Pizzulli during his floor speech.
In addition to his MLB achievements, Oliver was a registered minister and ordained deacon. His contributions are also commemorated on the Portsmouth Floodwall Murals.
The legislation now proceeds to the Ohio Senate for consideration.
