TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE I-26/SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 219 INTERCHANGE IN NEWBERRY COUNTY AS "MAIN STREET INTERCHANGE" BECAUSE THIS INTERCHANGE AS WELL AS SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 219 AND MAIN STREET SERVE AS THE GATEWAY TO THE CITY OF NEWBERRY AND TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO ERECT APPROPRIATE SIGNS OR MARKERS REFLECTING THIS DESIGNATION.
Whereas, the I-26/South Carolina Highway 219 Interchange as well as South Carolina Highway 219 and Main Street serve as the gateway to the City of Newberry for the motoring public; and
Whereas, within the corporate limits of the City of Newberry, South Carolina Highway 219 is designated as Main Street; and
Whereas, the corporate limits of the City of Newberry, during the fall of 2004, were enlarged to annex the area adjacent to the I-26/South Carolina Highway 219 Interchange; and
Whereas, the municipal government of the City of Newberry, by letter dated November 10, 2004, has requested that the I-26/South Carolina Highway 219 Interchange be named "Main Street Interchange"; and
Whereas, the City of Newberry, incorporated by act of the General Assembly in 1832, is the home of Newberry College, the Newberry Opera House, the historic Community Hall, and historic Oak Hall Mansion, the design of which is attributed to Robert Mills; and
Whereas, in recent years, the City of Newberry has experienced a renaissance and rebirth of commercial activity, economic development, and cultural attractions; and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper that the I-26/South Carolina Highway 219 Interchange be named "Main Street Interchange" inasmuch as this interchange as well as South Carolina Highway 219 and Main Street serve as the gateway to the City of Newberry. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly request the Department of Transportation to name the I-26/South Carolina Highway 219 Interchange in Newberry County as "Main Street Interchange" and to erect appropriate signs or markers reflecting this designation.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Mayor and City Council of the City of Newberry and to the Department of Transportation.
