A late-filed amendment (barcode 142900) added a second designation to honor the late Senator Geraldine Thompson: a roadway outside the Wells Built Museum of African American History and Culture would be named Senator Geraldine Thompson Way. Senator Arrington read historical material about the museum and Thompson’s role preserving the Wells Built Hotel and the museum. Supporters described both honorees’ philanthropic and civic contributions to Central Florida.
The committee adopted the amendment and reported CS for SB 274 favorably by roll call. Sponsors said the dual designations would memorialize local civic leaders and historic preservation efforts and that the Department of Transportation would erect suitable markers if the bill becomes law.
