Bill > H4243

This joint resolution seeks to honor Johnny Morant, a long-serving Georgetown County Council member, by requesting the South Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) rename a specific portion of Exodus Drive (South Carolina Highway #S-264) as "Johnny Morant Highway". The resolution highlights Morant's significant contributions to Georgetown County, including his 25-year tenure on the county council, where he served as chairman from 2008 to 2018, and his role in developing a comprehensive 20-year strategic plan that improved local infrastructure, including courthouse, airport, library, and emergency services facilities. The proposed highway segment is approximately 7.97 miles long, stretching from its intersection with North Fraser Street (US Highway 701) to a second intersection with the same highway. The resolution also requires that appropriate markers or signs be erected along this highway segment to commemorate Morant's legacy of public service and community development.
