The bill H. 5199 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly to honor Wilber Lee Jeffcoat by naming a section of United States Highway 321 as the "Wilber Lee Jeffcoat Memorial Highway." This section extends from its intersection with IW Hutto Road to the intersection of South Carolina Highway 3 in the Town of Swansea, Lexington County. The resolution requests the Department of Transportation to erect appropriate signs or markers at this location to commemorate Mr. Jeffcoat's contributions to public service and his community.
Wilber Lee Jeffcoat is recognized for his extensive involvement in various civic and political roles, including his leadership in the South Carolina Democratic Party and his work with the South Carolina Legislative Black Caucus. He was also active in local organizations and served his church community. The resolution highlights his legacy of service and commitment, stating that it is fitting to honor him with this memorial designation on the highway. A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to the Department of Transportation for implementation.
