State Representative Amy Elik (R-Fosterburg) has filed two House Joint Resolutions last week on behalf of Godfrey Mayor Mike McCormick, to honor the lives of two deceased Godfrey community leaders.
House Joint Resolutions 25 and 26 would create two memorial highways in Godfrey to honor Captain Jake Ringering and Eldon “Twirp” Williams, respectively.
Elik tells the Big Z where the road name changes would be located.
