Recognizing the importance of the Interstate Highway System and supporting the development of an interstate through southern Ohio.

This House resolution expresses official recognition of the Interstate Highway System and endorses the planning and development of a new interstate route that would run south from Columbus through southern Ohio. It frames such a corridor as potentially expanding economic opportunities, improving regional connectivity, and enhancing national security by facilitating faster movement of people and goods, as well as military resources if needed. The measure emphasizes the historical and ongoing importance of the Interstate System and notes regional context—such as economic challenges in Appalachia and ongoing redevelopment in southern Ohio—as justification for pursuing planning and development. It is a non-binding, symbolic statement of support and does not itself authorize funding or construction.
