Nine rest stops on the Garden State Parkway will be renamed after New Jersey icons and Hall of Fame inductees. 

The New Jersey Turnpike Authority made the announcement Tuesday. It's being done in conjunction with the New Jersey Hall of Fame.

Gov. Phil Murphy says it's part of a larger effort to showcase local heroes, the outstanding talent of the people of New Jersey and their contributions to the world.
