TO RECOGNIZE YORK COUNTY FOR ITS MANY ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND TO DECLARE MARCH 9, 1999, "YORK COUNTY DAY" IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, the population of York County has grown over twenty percent during the past ten years to a current total of 154,313 and is expected to grow by 66,000 by the year 2015; and

Whereas, York County is ranked sixth in the State in the number of jobs announced during 1998, with 1415 new jobs; and

Whereas, York County's total estimated assessed property valuation for 1998 exceeded $576.1 million; and

Whereas, York County expects to announce over $200 million in existing industry investments in 1999; and

Whereas, a total of seventy-three companies, some nationally known, announced plans to locate or expand in York County in 1998, providing a capital investment of over $145.5 million; and

Whereas, gross retail sales in York County have more than doubled since 1986, and increased over three percent during the past year to an estimated $2.8 billion; 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 $99 million for road improvements, the county's successful Infrastructure Bank Board application that resulted in $130 million 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 it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly hereby recognize York County for its many accomplishments and declare March 9, 1999, "York County Day" in South Carolina.

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