AI Summary
This resolution requests the South Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) to rename a specific stretch of South Carolina Highway 389 in Orangeburg County as the "Benjamin F. Corbett Memorial Highway" to honor a local advocate who fought for road improvements in the early 1920s. The resolution provides context about Benjamin F. Corbett, a World War I veteran who, in 1923, wrote a passionate letter criticizing county officials for neglecting roads in the Sawyerdale area of Orangeburg County. Despite passing away at age 30 in 1925, Corbett's efforts helped improve a ten-mile road segment connecting Neeses to the Aiken County line. The resolution specifically asks the DOT to rename this highway stretch and erect appropriate commemorative signs, and includes a provision that a copy of the resolution be sent to the Department of Transportation to ensure implementation of the request.
