TO RECOGNIZE YORK COUNTY FOR ITS MANY ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND DECLARE MARCH 28, 2000, "YORK COUNTY DAY".

Whereas, the population of York County has grown over seventeen and four-tenths percent during the past ten years to a current total of one hundred sixty-one thousand one hundred and is expected to grow by two hundred twenty thousand four hundred by the year 2015; and

Whereas, York County is ranked fifteenth in the State for the number of jobs announced during 1999, with one thousand one hundred sixty-four new jobs; and

Whereas, York County's total estimated assessed property valuation for 1999 exceeded five hundred eighty-one million nine hundred thousand dollars; and

Whereas, York County expects to announce over two hundred thirty million dollars in new and existing industry investments in 2000; and

Whereas, a total of eighty-eight companies, some nationally known, announced plans to locate or expand in York County in 1999, providing a capital investment of over one hundred fifty million four hundred thousand dollars; and

Whereas, York County recognizes the importance of transportation planning as it relates to economic development and quality of life concerns. This has been demonstrated with the adoption of a one-cent sales tax that will generate ninety-nine million dollars for road improvements, the county's successful Infrastructure Bank Board application that resulted in one hundred thirty million dollars for a critical regional connector, the business community's support of the Southern Metro Area Regional Transportation initiative, and a growing recognition of the importance of a regional mass transit system. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, recognize York County for its many accomplishments and declare March 28, 2000, "York County Day".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to each of the four Chambers representing the Council of Chambers of York County.
