SSG TROEHLER MEMORIAL HIGHWAY

This bill designates the section of U.S. Route 24 passing through Fairbury as the "SSG Wilbur E. Troehler Memorial Highway" to honor a local veteran. It directly affects the Illinois Department of Transportation, which is asked to install signs identifying the road with this new name. The legislation recognizes Staff Sergeant Wilbur E. Troehler, a Fairbury native who served in the U.S. Army during World War II, by formally naming a roadway after him. Copies of the resolution will be sent to Troehler's family, the mayor of Fairbury, and the state transportation secretary.
