Today, the Illinois Department of Transportation placed signs along I-74 in honor of the late Senator Scott Bennett. State Senator Paul Faraci (D-Champaign) joined elected officials, community members, as well as Bennett’s friends and family to honor his life and legacy. Faraci passed Senate Joint Resolution 32 last spring, designating I-74 from U.S. Route 45 in Champaign to the Indiana state line as the “Senator Scott M. Bennett Memorial Highway.” Today, the Illinois Department of Transportation placed signs along the interstate in his honor.
Faraci said, “Senator Bennett continues to be remembered as a leader in our communities who dedicated his life to serving the people of Illinois. He will forever be missed, but his legacy will never be forgotten. This is one way we can continue to honor him for decades to come.”
