Bill > H4381

This joint resolution requests the South Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) to rename Nesmith Corner Road in Williamsburg County to "Columbus Pressley and Claudie E. Pressley Memorial Road" in honor of two significant local community members. The resolution provides detailed background on Columbus Pressley, a prominent community leader born in 1876 who was instrumental in developing the Nesmith community through agricultural cooperation, community organization, and economic development, and his son Claudie E. Pressley, who was born in 1926, served in World War II, worked as a firefighter, owned a local grocery store, and was deeply committed to family and community. The resolution highlights the Pressley family's legacy of resilience, service, and community building, which began shortly after the Civil War, and seeks to commemorate their contributions by permanently marking a local roadway with their names. Additionally, the resolution requires that the DOT be formally presented with a copy of this memorial resolution.
