Gadsden road designation

Gadsden officials say they will unveil Signs designating U.S. Highway 431/278 in Gadsden as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Parkway on Aug. 10.  The unveiling will be followed by a program honoring Dr. King and five other civil rights activists at the Gadsden City high School.  The signs will be placed at the Gadsden city limits at Glencoe and Attalla. The dedication and unveiling will be at 10 a.m. near North Glencoe Baptist Church, near the Gadsden/Glencoe city limits. A resolution authorizing the signs and designation was approved this year by the Alabama Legislature. The Gadsden City Council had requested the local delegation pass the resolution. The signs and honorary designation will not affect the Meighan Boulevard name or addresses for businesses
