The life and service of the late state Sen. Noah Wenger were recently recognized at a ceremony dedicating a portion of Route 222 in Lancaster County in his honor. The highway dedication was hosted by state Sen. Ryan P. Aument, state Sen. Scott Martin, and members of Wenger's family.

Wenger served in the General Assembly for 30 years, including 24 years in the state Senate. During his tenure, he was elected to the Senate Republican Leadership Team as caucus chairman and later as Appropriations Committee chairman, and he played a leading role in creating the state's farmland preservation program.
