The resolution proposes to honor former Representative Tommy Carter by naming a section of Alabama State Highway Route 127, which runs between the City of Athens and the Town of Elkmont in Limestone County, as the "Representative Tommy Carter Highway." This recognition is in appreciation of Carter's extensive contributions to the community, including his long tenure in the Alabama House of Representatives, where he served for 36 years and held various leadership roles. His dedication to public service is highlighted by his efforts to support local education and community initiatives, as well as his involvement in various organizations after retirement.

The resolution calls for the Alabama Department of Transportation to collaborate with local officials to implement this designation and to install appropriate signage along the highway. It emphasizes Carter's deep roots in Limestone County, his achievements as a student-athlete, and his commitment to the community, which earned him several accolades, including the Athens-Limestone Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year Award. The resolution reflects the high regard in which he is held by his constituents and aims to commemorate his legacy through this symbolic gesture.
