TO EXPRESS THE COLLECTIVE BELIEF AND DESIRE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY THAT THE NEXT MAJOR HIGHWAY PROJECT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SHOULD BE ONE THAT PROVIDES HORRY COUNTY WITH ACCESS TO THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM.
Whereas, it is the desire of the members of the General Assembly that the Department of Transportation provide Horry County with access to the interstate system; and
Whereas, the beautiful beaches, excellent shopping, and activities for young and old make Horry County one of the major tourist hubs in the Southeast, drawing millions of visitors each year; and
Whereas, Horry County, a golf oasis of America, attracts professionals as well as aspiring golfers alike; it boasts more golf courses than any other county in the United States; and
Whereas, the more tourists that are drawn to Horry County, the more money the county and the State collect, thereby strengthening the state's economy; and
Whereas, providing Horry County with access to the interstate system would offer visitors and tourists a faster and more convenient route to their destination; and
Whereas, Interstate 73 and Interstate 74 are the two most popular and feasible options for the new interstate project in Horry County; and
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly feel that it is in the best interest of the State and Horry County that the next major highway project of the Department of Transportation should be one that connects Horry County with the interstate system. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly express their collective belief and desire that the next major highway project of the Department of Transportation should be one that provides Horry County with access to the interstate system.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
