SC I-73 Association Making An Impact

Leaders from both North and South Carolina were quick to credit the S.C. I-73 Association for Friday's success. The association was formed in December 2003 due to the lack of progress seen on I-73 and concerns about losing the corridor to altogether. Little more than one year later, the association, in tandem with the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce and NESA, is making a difference by continuing to influence local, state and national leaders of the importance of I-73.

SC I-73 Chairman Alan Clemmons noted its importance at the recent I-73 Summit of the Carolinas: "the members of the South Carolina I-73 Association are to be credited for their vision, their commitment and their action. Because of them, the many events we've held and the lobbying we've undertaken is making a difference. This association's work has been vital to our progress thus far but we can't stop now." Lyndo Tippett, North Carolina Secretary of Transportation lauded the association, noting “this is the way to get things done”.

Clemmons reminded summit attendees that it is time for members to renew but, more importantly, to help recruit new members. For a small investment, I-73 supporters can unite in support and join the association. For membership information, please call Amie Lee at (843) 916-7238.
