REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME A SECTION OF S. C. HWY. 72 IN ABBEVILLE COUNTY IN HONOR OF CHARLES L. POWELL AND TO ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS TO THAT EFFECT.
Whereas, the Honorable Charles Powell served with distinction in the General Assembly and has been a devoted public servant and community advocate; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper that a portion of S.C. Hwy. 72 in Abbeville County be named for him as an expression of gratitude for his excellent public service and his commitment to his community. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
