S 4754 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates portion of State Highway Route 35 in Laurence Harbor as "James Francisco and Walter Schmidt Memorial Roadway."

This bill designates a specific 1.89-mile segment of State Highway Route 35 in Laurence Harbor (from milepost 45.37 to 47.26) as the "James Francisco and Walter Schmidt Memorial Roadway" to honor two New Jersey veterans who died in the Vietnam War. It directly affects the highway segment and commemorates veterans James Francisco (killed 1969) and Walter Schmidt (killed 1966, Silver Star recipient). The bill prohibits using state funds for signage, requiring private donations or partnerships with nonprofits to cover costs for signs and maintenance. No policy changes or government funding shifts are involved - this is purely a commemorative naming resolution.
