THE COMMITTEE ON

INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 373), to request the Department of Transportation to designate and name South Hamilton Street in Williamston, South Carolina, as "Ed Poore Road", etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:

RICHARD M. QUINN, JR., for Committee.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO DESIGNATE AND NAME SOUTH HAMILTON STREET IN WILLIAMSTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, AS "ED POORE ROAD" IN HONOR OF C. EDWARD POORE AND TO ERECT THE APPROPRIATE SIGNS OR MARKERS.

Whereas, C. Edward Poore has been a dedicated and selfless public servant in the town of Williamston and Anderson County; and

Whereas, Mr. Poore served Anderson County for over 50 years as an alderman, road commissioner, magistrate, coroner, and county supervisor; and

Whereas, during his tenure as county supervisor, Anderson County enjoyed years of fiscal responsibility under his leadership, while also finding the resources to purchase much needed office equipment for county employees; and

Whereas, Mr. Poore initiated and supervised the renovations to the local hospital, presently known as the Anderson Area Medical Center; and

Whereas, his work as administrator of a local detention center resulted in the paving and maintaining of many roads in Anderson County; and

Whereas, Mr. Poore has earned the utmost respect from all the citizens of Anderson County for his talent, leadership, integrity, and excellence in his job and community; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly believe it is fitting and proper that the work and service to which C. Edward Poore dedicated his life be recognized by naming South Hamilton Street in Williamston, S.C., where he has lived for most of his 82 years, as "Ed Poore Road". Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of Transportation to designate and name South Hamilton Street in Williamston, S.C., as "Ed Poore Road" in honor of C. Edward Poore and to erect the appropriate signs or markers.

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