Bastrop County may rename FM 969 as 'Charlie Kirk Corridor' after his assasination

Bastrop County commissioners will consider renaming a road in honor of Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA co-founder who was assassinated in September.

Commissioner David Glass has put a resolution on Monday's agenda to change the name of FM 969 in Bastrop County to the "Charlie Kirk Corridor." FM 969 is a state-maintained farm-to-market road that runs through Bastrop and Travis counties.
