Montgomery County officials are moving forward with plans to rename three street names that honor Confederates.
It’s part of the county’s ongoing effort to identify and rename streets, facilities and trails that honor Confederates, Confederate sympathizers, and slaveholders.
The County Council discussed the renaming effort on Tuesday afternoon two days before the Planning Department will introduce a resolution to begin the process of renaming the three streets: Jubal Early Court, J.E.B. Stuart Road, and J.E.B. Stuart Court.
