TO RECOGNIZE YORK COUNTY FOR ITS MANY ACCOMPLISHMENTS OVER THE PAST DECADE AND TO DECLARE MARCH 20, 2002, "YORK COUNTY DAY" IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, the population of York County has grown over twenty-five percent during the past ten years to a current total of one hundred sixty-four thousand six hundred fourteen and is expected to grow by another seventeen percent by the year 2015; and
Whereas, York County is ranked first in the State in the number of jobs announced during 2001, with three thousand eight hundred forty-four new jobs; and
Whereas, York County's total estimated assessed property valuation for 2000 exceeds $690,890,136; and
Whereas, a total of sixty-four companies, some nationally known, announced plans to locate or expand in York County in 2001, providing a capital investment of over $652,715,141; and
Whereas, York County, among other priorities recognizes the importance of transportation planning as it relates to economic development and quality of life concerns, as has been demonstrated by the adoption of a one cent sales tax that will generate ninety-nine million dollars for road improvements, the county's successful Infrastructure Bank board application that resulted in one hundred thirty million dollars for a critical regional connector, the business community's support of the Southern Metro Area Regional Transportation initiative, and a growing recognition of the importance of a regional mass transit system. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, recognizes York County for its many accomplishments over the past decade and declares March 20, 2002, "York County Day" in South Carolina.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to each of the four chambers of commerce that make up the Council of Chambers of York County: the Clover Chamber of Commerce, the Greater York Chamber of Commerce, the Lake Wylie Chamber of Commerce, and the York County Regional Chamber of Commerce.
