Bill > H3002

This resolution seeks to honor William H. Nimmons Sr., a prominent community leader and public servant from Bamberg County, South Carolina, by requesting the Department of Transportation rename a specific portion of Govan Road in his memory. The resolution provides detailed background on Nimmons' life, highlighting his significant contributions, which include serving 33 years on the Bamberg County Council, being one of the first two Black individuals elected to the council, working in education as a teacher and school principal, serving in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, and being involved with various community organizations like the Boy Scouts of America and local government initiatives. The specific road segment to be renamed spans from its intersection with Voorhees Road to its intersection with United States Highway 321, and the Department of Transportation would be asked to erect appropriate signage reading "William H. Nimmons Sr. Road" to commemorate his lifelong dedication to public service and community development. The resolution also includes a provision to forward a copy of the resolution to the Department of Transportation to facilitate the road naming process.
