TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE BRIDGE WHICH CROSSES OVER THE SOUTHERN CONNECTOR ON STANDING SPRINGS ROAD IN GREENVILLE COUNTY AS THE "PRESTON J. TUCKER, SR., BRIDGE" IN HONOR OF THIS FINE SOUTH CAROLINIAN.
Whereas, Preston J. Tucker, Sr., was a native of Greenville County who was a respected community leader and farmer until his death in 1991; and
Whereas, Mr. Tucker owned the property where a bridge now crosses over the Southern Connector on Standing Springs Road; and
Whereas, Mr. Tucker's wife and children continue to live on the property adjoining this site; and
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly believe it would be a fitting tribute to him if this bridge were named in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, hereby request that the Department of Transportation name the bridge which crosses over the Southern Connector on Standing Springs Road in Greenville County as the "Preston J. Tucker, Sr., Bridge" in honor of this fine South Carolinian and the department is further requested to install appropriate markers or signs at this bridge as the department considers appropriate.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
