Bill > S0561

This resolution requests that the South Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) officially rename a specific portion of River Road (State Road S-40) in Florence County to "Billy Eaddy Road" in honor of Lucious "Billy" Eaddy, a significant local figure who served as one of the first two Black town council members in Pamplico from 1976 until his death in 2020. The resolution covers the road segment from the intersection of Pine Street (S-21-312) to the intersection of Shirley Road (S-21-1114), an area where Eaddy's family business was located and which local citizens already informally refer to by his name. Additionally, the resolution calls for the DOT to erect appropriate road markers or signs designating the renamed road, and mandates that a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and presented to Eaddy's family, thereby formally recognizing his community contributions and local legacy.
