Route 9 in Saratoga County is now officially the U.S. Submarine Veterans Memorial Highway, thanks to a newly passed bill sponsored by Assemblyman Jim Tedisco in the New York State Legislature.

The bill has already passed the senate and will now be sent to the governor for his review and approval or veto.

Route 9 in Saratoga County was chosen as U.S. Submarine Veterans’ Memorial Highway because of the area’s rich heritage and dense Naval presence in the Capital Region. The Naval Nuclear Power Training Unit in Milton, Knolls Atomic Power Labs in Niskayuna, and the Naval Support Units in both Glenville and Saratoga, along with New York’s Submarine Veterans group are all within the area of Route 9.
