Bill > S0502

This resolution requests that the South Carolina Department of Transportation rename a specific stretch of Knights Hill Road in Kershaw County as the "Steeplechase Thoroughfare of America" in recognition of Camden's significant role in steeplechase racing. The resolution highlights Camden's reputation as the "Steeplechase Capital of the World" and points to the area's important equestrian heritage, including the Springdale Race Course and the National Steeplechase Museum, which are located along this road corridor. The specific segment of road runs from Springdale Drive to Carter Street, and the resolution calls for the Department of Transportation to erect appropriate markers or signs designating the road's new name. The underlying motivation is to honor Camden's longstanding contributions to steeplechase racing, acknowledge the economic and cultural importance of the equine industry to the local community, and create a formal recognition of the area's historical significance in the sport of steeplechase racing.
