TO DECLARE TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2020, AS "CITIES MEAN BUSINESS DAY" IN SOUTH CAROLINA FOR THE PURPOSE OF RECOGNIZING THE VALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS CITIES AND TOWNS MAKE TO OUR STATE'S ECONOMIC PROSPERITY THROUGH THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES.
Whereas, cities and towns derive their power from the state constitution and laws adopted by the General Assembly; and
Whereas, there are two hundred seventy-one duly incorporated municipalities within the State of South Carolina; and
Whereas, cities and towns are valuable resources to state economic development, job creation, and competitiveness efforts; and
Whereas, cities and towns are considered hometowns for their residents and provide a sense of place and spirit of community to all within and around their municipal boundaries; and
Whereas, cities and towns provide essential services, such as law enforcement, fire protection, health and sanitation, recreation, and growth and development controls to protect and enhance quality of life for all citizens of the State; and
Whereas, the amenities and services that cities and towns provide to residents attract business and industry to the region; and
Whereas, mayors and councilmembers are the local elected leaders who guide the growth and development of cities and towns, leading to the success of the State and the region; and
Whereas, dedicated employees of cities and towns provide residents the services that contribute to quality of life and local business success; and
Whereas, cities and towns mean business and are economic engines of the State, contributing to the overall success of South Carolina; and
Whereas, healthy, financially sound, and economically strong cities and towns are essential to the health and welfare of the State. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, declare Tuesday, February 4, 2020, as "Cities Mean Business Day" in South Carolina for the purpose of recognizing the valuable contributions cities and towns make to our state's economic prosperity through their relationship with local businesses.
