The Missouri Department of Transportation has announced an almost two month long road project that is scheduled to begin later this month in Poplar Bluff.

Today we celebrate Presidents Day, a holiday that began as a way to honor the birthday of George Washington, the first President of the United States and a foundational leader in our nation’s history. Over time, the holiday expanded to also recognize Abraham Lincoln and now serves as a day to honor all U.S. presidents—past and present.

Originally established as a federal holiday in 1885 to recognize Washington’s leadership and integrity, Presidents Day reminds us of the values that helped shape our country: courage, unity, service, and commitment to the greater good.

It’s important to reflect on the leadership, sacrifice, and vision that built our nation. Today is more than just a long weekend—it’s an opportunity to appreciate the history, resilience, and freedoms we enjoy.

Let’s take a moment to honor those who have led our country and continue striving toward a stronger future together.
