The resolution honors the memory of former Alabama State Representative Joe R. Carothers by requesting the Department of Transportation to designate a section of Alabama State Route 52, between Taylor City and Alabama State Route 605 in Houston County, as the Joe R. Carothers Highway. Carothers served in the Alabama House of Representatives from 1974 to 2006 and was a dedicated public servant, educator, and advocate for agriculture. He played a significant role in various community initiatives, including the establishment of Landmark Park as Alabama's Agricultural Museum and the Tri-State Junior Beef Expo, and was instrumental in economic development efforts in the Wiregrass region.

The resolution highlights Carothers' commitment to his constituents and the state of Alabama, noting his contributions to healthcare access, economic opportunities, and community development. It calls for the erection of appropriate signage to commemorate his legacy, reflecting the respect and gratitude of the legislature for his service and impact on the community.
