The resolution requests the Division of Highways to officially name bridge number 55A106, known locally as the Laurel Fork Bridge in Wyoming County, as the "Jim Sigmon Family Memorial Bridge." This request honors James "Jim" Sigmon, Jr., who was a prominent figure in the community, known for his work as a salesman, his active involvement in the Republican Party, and his dedication to music ministry and family. Jim Sigmon passed away on June 4, 2015, and the resolution aims to establish a lasting memorial to recognize his contributions to the state and his community.
Additionally, the resolution calls for the installation of signs at both ends of the bridge to identify it as the "Jim Sigmon Family Memorial Bridge." It also directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways to facilitate the naming process. This initiative reflects the community's desire to honor Jim Sigmon's legacy and ensure that his memory is preserved for future generations.
