Bill > H4086

This resolution honors James Risher Sr., a prominent community leader from Hampton County, South Carolina, by requesting the Department of Transportation (DOT) rename a portion of United States Highway 321 in his memory. The resolution highlights Risher's significant contributions, including serving as mayor of Gifford for 37 years, during which he implemented crucial infrastructure improvements like water and sewer systems, a fire department, and community enhancements. It also recognizes his extensive public service, including roles as a town councilman, school district board member, NAACP president, and his long-standing career at the Savannah River Plant. Specifically, the resolution asks the DOT to designate the highway segment from its intersection with South Carolina Highway 363 to the Hampton-Allendale County line as the "Honorable James Risher Sr. Memorial Highway" and to install appropriate commemorative markers. The resolution aims to permanently recognize Risher's lifetime of community service and leadership by creating a lasting memorial along a significant local roadway.
