Firefighter Memorial Highway In Honor of Chief Troy Jackson

I had a dream to somehow make the efforts and sacrifices our first responders make daily, front and center for members of our community. So I decided to work to have a portion of a

state highway designated as the Firefighters Memorial Highway in Memory of Chief Troy Jackson. This would honor Troy's years of service, LODD, and contributions to cancer prevention and highlight all firefighters. Lobbyist Driver helped navigate the process but unfortunately it had some formatting issues when submitted by legislative staff, so it will have to wait and be presented next year. In the meantime, representative Clifford read a brief tribute to Troy into the record, which was really nice and received a great response.

We are hoping that it will be the portion of I25 at around Belleview and all the way to C470 or Lincoln. These are roads that are in South Metro's district and it makes me smile to think our rigs and personnel and families and friends will drive these on a very regular basis.

I will update it here when we get the official approval from the legislature and when the unveiling will happen. (You may notice because it will disrupt traffic when they go to hang it...)
