A concurrent RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF S-75 (E WASHINGTON STREET) IN the city of greenville in GREENVILLE COUNTY FROM its INTERSECTION with LAURENS ROAD TO its CONVERGENCE WITH S-1077 "STEWART SPINKS ROAD" AND PLACE APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS PORTION OF Highway CONTAINING THESE WORDS.

Whereas, Mr. Stewart Spinks opened his first gas station and convenience store in 1972 on what is now E Washington Street in the City of Greenville; and

Whereas, Mr. Spinks grew Spinx from a one-store operation to a statewide enterprise with eighty-four stores and over fourteen hundred employees; and

Whereas, Spinx was recognized as one of the "Best Places to Work" in South Carolina because of the measures Mr. Spinks has taken to care for his employees and their families; and

Whereas, Mr. Spinks is one of Greenville County's most prolific philanthropists having been awarded the "Individual Philanthropist of the Year" award; and

Whereas, Mr. Spinks, through the Spinks Family Foundation, has donated over $1.2 million to the American Cancer Society, $1.6 million to the March of Dimes, and is one of the strongest supporters of FAVOR Greenville, a recovery center that helps thousands overcome addiction; and

Whereas, he donated a Falcon 10 Jet to Greenville Technical College's Aircraft Maintenance Technology Program to expand student aviation maintenance learning opportunities and provide hands-on experience; and

Whereas, Mr. Spinks donated $250,000 toward a 110-foot pedestrian bridge in Greenville's Unity Park. This donation helps make people's lives easier, which is at the heart of the Spinx mission; and

Whereas, the original Spinx location still sits on E Washington Street along with the Spinx headquarters; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to recognize the significant contributions of Mr. Stewart Spinks by naming a portion of S-75 (E Washington Street) in the City of Greenville in Greenville County in his honor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of Transportation name the portion of S-75 (E Washington St.) in the City of Greenville in Greenville County from its intersection with Laurens Road to its convergence with S-1077 "Stewart Spinks Road" and place appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway containing these words.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
