The wheels are in motion to bring a little Margarittaville to a stretch of AIA.
Republican State Rep. Chuck Clemons has filed House Bill 91 to rename State Road AIA “Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway.”
Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, Brevard, Volusia, Flagler, St. Johns, Duval, and Nassau Counties would get the new highway name, if passed.
Buffett, whose A1A album was released in December 1974, including the song “Trying to Reason With Hurricane Season,” which mentions the coastal highway, died a month ago from Merkel cell cancer.
He was 76.
The 2024 Florida legislative session begins in January.
