Dedicates a portion of the state highway system to Fort de la Presentation
This bill dedicates a specific segment of State Route 68 in Ogdensburg (from Albany Avenue to Commerce Street) to honor Fort de la Presentation, a historic site. It requires the state transportation department to install ceremonial signage reading "Highway Dedicated to Fort de la Presentation" along this route. The dedication is explicitly stated to be ceremonial only, with no change to the highway's official name or route number. This affects the public using this portion of Route 68, primarily in St. Lawrence County.
