TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE INTERSECTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 72 AND WILLARD ROAD IN GREENWOOD COUNTY "JIMMY BRITT INTERSECTION" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS INTERSECTION THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "JIMMY BRITT INTERSECTION".
Whereas, Mr. James W. "Jimmy" Britt was born on June 28, 1932, in McCormick County and died on March 2, 2011; and
Whereas, he was a graduate of Greenwood High School who served his country with honor and distinction during the Korean War; and
Whereas, he served as President of Britt Construction Company and was the owner and operator of Blazer's Restaurant; and
Whereas, Mr. Britt was a member of the American Legion Post 20, served as President of the Greenwood Homebuilder's Association, President of the South Carolina Hospitality Association, and Director of the National Restaurant Association; and
Whereas, he was a faithful member of Main Street Methodist Church; and
Whereas, he and his wife Norma together raised five wonderful children; and
Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to pay tribute to the legacy of this son of South Carolina by naming an intersection in Greenwood County in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the intersection of South Carolina Highway 72 and Willard Road in Greenwood County "Jimmy Britt Intersection" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this intersection that contain the words "Jimmy Britt Intersection".
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
