A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME A PORTION OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 85 IN SPARTANBURG COUNTY FROM MILE POINT 68.8 TO MILE POINT 77.4 THE "JOE GRIFFIN EXPRESSWAY".

Whereas, Joel R. "Joe" Griffin, Jr., was born in Marion, Virginia in 1930; and

Whereas, Joe is a graduate of Spartanburg High School in Spartanburg County; and

Whereas, he served as a South Carolina Highway Commissioner from April, 1980 to April, 1984; and

Whereas, Joe has served on the Spartanburg Area Transportation Committee and the Spartanburg County Planning Commission; and

Whereas, he is a former director of the Spartanburg County Red Cross and the Spartanburg County Childrens Shelter; and

Whereas, Joe currently is a member of the Board of Visitors of the University of South Carolina Medical School, the Greater Spartanburg Area Chamber of Commerce, and the American Metals Society; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper that the portion of Interstate Highway 85 from the mile point 68.8 to mile point 77.4 in Spartanburg County be named the "Joe Griffin Expressway" as a lasting tribute to this distinguished South Carolinian. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation designate and name the portion of Interstate Highway 85 in Spartanburg County described in this resolution as the "Joe Griffin Expressway" and to install five feet by eight feet signs along the highway containing the words "Joe Griffin Expressway".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
