The resolution expresses support from the South Dakota Legislature for the designation of a portion of U.S. Highway 12 in honor of the late Helen Miller, a prominent figure in economic development in northeastern South Dakota. Helen Miller, who passed away in 2002, was the first woman to chair the Aberdeen Area Chamber of Commerce and played a crucial role in attracting business and industry to the region. She was a strong advocate for infrastructure improvements, particularly highways, believing they were vital for economic growth. Her efforts were instrumental in expanding U.S. Highway 12 from two lanes to four lanes, enhancing connectivity between Aberdeen and Interstate 29.

The resolution calls upon the South Dakota Transportation Commission to consider this designation as a tribute to Helen Miller's significant contributions to the community and the development of the transportation corridor. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing her legacy through proper signage along the highway, thereby honoring her role as a leading advocate for economic development and infrastructure in the area. The resolution was adopted by the Senate on January 30, 2025, and concurred by the House of Representatives on February 7, 2025.
