ALBION, N.Y. (WKBW-TV) â A portion of NYS Route 31 between Transit Road and Wood Road in Albion has now been dedicated as the "Charles W. Howard Memorial Highway."
Since it is a state road, the change was approved by the New York State Legislature and signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo.
NYS Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R-Batavia) and NYS Senator Robert Ortt (R-Lockport) co-sponsored the legislation and attended the dedication.
