Walton County Names Highway After Charlie Kirk

Walton County – 10/15/25 – District 2 Commissioner Danny Glidewell recommended that the Walton County Board of County Commissioners designate a local street as ‘Charlie Kirk Parkway.’

“Recently, we lost a wonderful American, Mr. Charlie Kirk, who had a great influence on a lot of people. His murder was a shock to all of us, and I was asked to present this – to create a ‘Charlie Kirk Parkway’ in Walton County,” said Commissioner Glidewell.

Glidewell said that after researching the issue, he felt that whatever highway was chosen, it should not adversely affect residents with regard to street addressing.

“I have identified a road that we could name after Mr. Kirk without impacting people’s addresses,” said Glidewell. “That’s Highway 393 North. So, I would make a motion that we designate Highway 393 North as ‘Charlie Kirk Parkway’ and leaving the addressing as 393.”

Commission Chair Donna Johns also reminded everyone that this was occurring on what would have been Charlie Kirk’s birthday. She thanked Commissioner Glidewell for bringing up the recommendation.

An audience member also came to the podium to thank the Commissioners for taking this action and noted that Kirk had also just received the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously that same day.

The motion passed unanimously.
