The resolution proposes that the Department of Transportation designate a section of Alabama State Route 257, specifically from the border of Walker County to the end of Route 257, as the Arley - Smith Lake Parkway. This designation is intended to acknowledge the importance of this route in supporting the tourism economy of Winston County, particularly as it provides access to Arley, Alabama, which serves as a gateway to the popular Smith Lake destination. The area is known for its natural beauty and recreational opportunities, attracting visitors for activities such as boating and fishing, which in turn bolsters local businesses and services.

The resolution encourages the Department of Transportation to collaborate with local officials to implement this naming and to install appropriate signage to reflect the new designation. This initiative highlights the significance of tourism in the region and aims to enhance the visibility and accessibility of Smith Lake, thereby contributing to the economic development of Winston County.
