The bill H. 4242 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly, which requests the Department of Transportation to name a section of South Carolina Highway 417 in Spartanburg County as "Old Antioch Church Way." This section extends from the Enoree River to South Carolina Highway 101. The resolution aims to honor the historical significance of the Antioch Presbyterian Church, which has a rich legacy dating back to its establishment in 1845 and its connection to the local community over the years.
The resolution highlights the church's history, including its founding, struggles, and eventual growth, culminating in its 180th anniversary celebration in 2023. It emphasizes the importance of preserving the church's legacy by naming a portion of the highway in its honor and calls for the erection of appropriate signs or markers at the designated location. A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to the Department of Transportation for implementation.
