DECLARING TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 2001, AS "YORK COUNTY DAY" IN ORDER TO RECOGNIZE THE HARD WORK OF THE PEOPLE OF YORK COUNTY IN MAKING YORK COUNTY AN EXEMPLAR OF ECONOMIC PROGRESS.

Whereas, the population of York County has grown over twenty percent during the past ten years to a current total of 158,100 and is expected to grow by 40,000 by the year 2015; and

Whereas, York County is ranked sixth in the State in the number of jobs announced during 2000, with 1508 new jobs; and

Whereas, York County's total estimated assessed property valuation for 2000 exceeded two hundred fifty million dollars; and

Whereas, a total of eighty-eight companies, some nationally known, announced in 2000 plans to locate or expand in York County, providing a capital investment of over three hundred eighty-eight million dollars; and

Whereas, York County recognizes the importance of transportation planning as it relates to economic development and quality of life concerns as 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; and

Whereas, it is appropriate that the members of the House of Representatives declare a "York County Day" to honor the economic progress of York County. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives, by this resolution, declare Tuesday, March 27, 2001, as "York County Day" in order to recognize the hard work of the people of York County in making York County an exemplar of economic progress.
