PROFESSOR JOHN T. SIMPSON MEMORIAL DRIVE DEDICATION
EASLEY, SC -
Today, July 20, 2021 Senator Rex Rice, along with County and City Elected Officials joined in the dedication of North A Street within the City Limits of Easley,
The South Carolina General Assembly recognize the positive impact that John T. Simpson had on his students and community; and it would be only fitting and proper to pay tribute to this son of South Carolina by naming a portion of road in the State in his honor. The members of the South Carolina General Assembly requested that the Department of Transportation name SC 135 (North A Street) from S-183 (NE Main Street) to its intersection with S-221 (Fleetwood Drive/Olive Street) in the Town of Easley and Pickens County "Professor John T. Simpson Memorial Drive" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this location containing the designation.
