“We feel like this is a perfect opportunity to commemorate the great impact his leadership has had on improving the economy and bringing jobs and commerce back to our great state,” Dahm told the outlet.

The bill would rename a roughly 13-mile stretch of Route 66 from the town of Miami through the town of Commerce to Industrial Parkway in Ottawa County.

“It is an honor to have authored this legislation that will help memorialize President Trump and his contribution to keeping America free and prosperous,” Roberts said.

The bill will be heard in the upcoming legislative session, which begins in February.
