The Florida Legislature has passed a bill naming a stretch of road in Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties as “Senator Greg Evers Memorial Highway.” The 62-year-old Evers, died last summer in a single-vehicle accident near his home in Baker in Okaloosa County. The road to be named is part of State Road 4 between Munson Highway and State Road 189 in Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties. Evers, a Republican, served nine years in the Florida House before being elected to the Senate in 2010. Evers left his Senate seat in 2016 to run for Congress but lost the Republican primary to Matt Gaetz who went on to win the seat formerly held by Jeff Miller.
