Florida County to Rename Road In Charlie Kirk’s Honor

Following the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, the Lake County Board of Commissioners in Florida has just approved a resolution to re-name a road in his honor.

The vote was unanimous!

Thank you to my colleagues on the Lake County Commission & to Floridians across the state who supported this proposal!

Hoping more counties & cities across the country follow our lead! FOR CHARLIE 🇺🇸

Now, Shofield Road in Lake County (near Orlando) will be memorialized to honor the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk.

Orlando Sentinel has more details on the new road name:

In an effort to memorialize Kirk, Commissioner Anthony Sabatini — who described Kirk as “one of the most famous and respected members of my generation” and “one of the greatest Americans who has ever lived” — put forward a resolution that would see installation of a memorial highway marker on Schofield Road from U.S. Highway 27 to the Orange County line.

Sabatini initially chose Wellness Way, within his district, because of its status as a prominent road that many people in Central Florida know and travel every day.

“How a person could be opposed to naming a road for somebody of such national significance, one of less than 700 people in the history of the country to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom as announced is coming in the following days, is beyond me,” he said. “Especially when you have thousands and thousands of unnamed roads in this county and throughout the state of Florida.”

While the road would remain Schofield Road for addressing and title purposes, the memorial designation would be added as a brown sign reminiscent of other memorial highway signs across the county and state.

Charlie Kirk’s longtime producer Andrew Kolvet shared his support:

Amazing. In what I hope is the first of many, Lake County, Florida has just named a road after Charlie Kirk. I would love to see Charlie Kirk highways all over America as an enduring reminder of his sacrifice for this country. Thank you @AnthonySabatini for spearheading this! https://t.co/iOLuVlyKPz
