Bill > H3840

This resolution honors Thomas Lee Read, a prominent James Island community developer and realtor, by requesting the South Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) rename the intersection of Harborview Road and Fort Sumter Drive on James Island as the "Thomas Lee Read Memorial Intersection" and install appropriate signage. The resolution provides extensive background on Read's life, highlighting his significant contributions to the area, including his role in developing Lawton Bluff, serving as president of local and state realtor associations, participating in community development projects like the Bishop Gadsden Episcopal Retirement Community, and pursuing photography in retirement. Read, who was born in 1930, was an Eagle Scout, Citadel graduate, U.S. Army veteran, successful real estate professional, and dedicated community leader who passed away in 2011, leaving behind a legacy of service and commitment to James Island. The resolution not only seeks to memorialize Read through the intersection naming but also requires the DOT to be formally notified of this request by forwarding a copy of the resolution to the agency.
