The resolution supports 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 board of directors of 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, including the expansion of U.S. Highway 12 from two lanes to four lanes, which significantly enhanced connectivity between Aberdeen and Interstate 29.

The South Dakota Legislature, through this concurrent resolution, requests that the Transportation Commission consider designating the highway segment from Interstate 29 to the city of Groton in Miller's honor. This designation would serve as a tribute to her contributions to the community and her advocacy for essential transportation infrastructure, which is vital for economic growth. The resolution was adopted by the Senate on January 30, 2025, and concurred by the House of Representatives on February 7, 2025.
