TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE BRIDGE IN ABBEVILLE COUNTY THAT CROSSES CALHOUN CREEK ALONG SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 28 NORTH "LESLIE FAMILY BRIDGE" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS LOCATION CONTAINING THESE WORDS.
Whereas, the Leslie family has planned a special reunion to take place in 2023 to celebrate two hundred fifty years of continuous ownership of their farm in Abbeville County; and
Whereas, originally settled in 1773 as a six-hundred-acre tract of land granted to the Leslie Family by the King of England, today the family maintains its presence on the property which now consists of approximately three hundred acres of Southern pines and hardwoods; and
Whereas, to recognize this significant milestone, it would be fitting and proper to name a bridge that crosses a body of water near that property in honor of the Leslie family. 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 name the bridge in Abbeville County that crosses Calhoun Creek along South Carolina Highway 28 North "Leslie Family Bridge" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this location containing these words.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
