Bill Would Name Stretch Of Highway 4 The “Sen. Greg Evers Memorial Highway”
September 22, 2017
A 13-mile stretch of Highway 4 that cuts through the Blackwater River State Forest would be named after the late former Sen. Greg Evers under a measure filed Thursday by Rep. Jayer Williamson, R-Pace.
Under Williamson’s proposal (HB 171), State Road 4 would be designated the “Senator Greg Evers Memorial Highway” between Munson Highway and State Road 189 in Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties.
Evers, 62, died Aug. 21 in a single-vehicle accident near his home in Okaloosa County. Evers, a Republican, served nine years in the Florida House before his election to the Senate in 2010. Evers left his Senate seat last year to make a bid for the U.S. House but lost the Republican primary to U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz.
Williamson’s bill is filed for the 2018 legislative session, which starts in January. If the bill passes and is signed by the governor, it would take effect July 1, 2018.

I pray the bill is passed. I had the pleasure of working with Senator Evers for a very brief period and know that he has left so many who thought highly of him and all that he has done! he is missed by many!
