Bill > S0193

This joint resolution requests the South Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) to rename a specific portion of Cashua Drive in Florence, South Carolina, as the "Curtis Kershaw Summerford Memorial Highway" in honor of a dedicated local law enforcement officer. The resolution provides background on Summerford, who was a lieutenant with the Florence County Sheriff's Office with a 34-year career, during which he was credited with significant drug and asset seizures. The highway segment to be renamed runs from its intersection with Second Loop Road to its intersection with United States Highway 76. The resolution highlights Summerford's life, including his professional achievements in law enforcement, his landscaping business, his devotion to family and community, and his strong faith. After passing away on July 9, 2021, following a battle with a traumatic injury, the resolution seeks to memorialize Summerford by having the DOT erect appropriate signs along the designated highway section. The resolution also includes a provision to forward a copy of the resolution to the Department of Transportation.
