Title of bill

An act to amend the highway law, in relation to designating a portion of the state highway system as the "Major General Harold J. Greene Memorial Highway"

Purpose

This legislation will rename a portion of State Route 146 in Albany County as "Major General Harold J. Greene Memorial Highway."

Summary of provisions

Section 1: Adds a new section to the highway law.

Section 2: Provides that the commissioner of transportation shall install and maintain the ceremonial signage.

Justification

Major General Harold J. Greene was raised in Guilderland, New York. Maj. Gen. Greene graduated from Guilderland High School in 1977 and went on to attend Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). At RPI he joined the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) to fulfill a physical education requirement but found that he enjoyed military life. He spent 34 years in the military and had a reputation of being an inspiring leader with a sense of humility.

This bill is being introduced at the request of the friends and family members of Maj. Gen. Greene who made the ultimate sacrifice on August 5, 2014. Maj. Gen. Greene was the first American General to be killed by combat fire since the September 11th attacks.
