REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO DESIGNATE AND NAME A PORTION OF STATE HIGHWAY 121 IN NEWBERRY COUNTY AS THE "J. C. NEEL MEMORIAL HIGHWAY" AND TO INSTALL APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS.
Whereas, the late J. C. Neel of Newberry County was an outstanding individual and greatly beloved by his fellow citizens; and
Whereas, Mr. Neel was primarily responsible for the development of South Carolina Highway 121 in Newberry County; and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper that the portion of South Carolina Highway 121 in Newberry County from the City of Newberry to the juncture of Highway 121 with United States Highway 176 be designated and named the "J. C. Neel Memorial Highway" as a lasting tribute to this distinguished South Carolinian. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, requests the Department of Transportation to designate and name the portion of South Carolina Highway 121 in Newberry County from the City of Newberry to the juncture of Highway 121 with United States Highway 176 as the "J. C. Neel Memorial Highway" and to install appropriate markers or signs at places along the highway as the department considers advisable containing the words "J. C. Neel Memorial Highway".
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and to the family of J. C. Neel.
