Recognizing the importance of the Interstate Highway System and supporting the development of an interstate through southern Ohio.

HRES 608 is a symbolic House resolution recognizing the importance of the Interstate Highway System and supporting the *planning and development* of a future interstate highway through southern Ohio. It does not fund construction or create new policy, but expresses the House's position that such an interstate could improve economic opportunities and connectivity in southern Ohio, particularly for communities near the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant site and other regional business areas. The resolution directly affects southern Ohio residents and businesses by urging federal consideration of the project, though it has no binding effect on actual construction.
