2025-2026 Bill 3665 Text of Previous Version (Jan.

Document has been reformatted to meet World Wide Web specifications.)                 A house RESOLUTION   TO HONOR MACEO NANCE, FORMER SENIOR ADVISOR TO THE SECRETARY OF COMMERCE FOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RECENT RETIREMENT, TO EXTEND DEEP APPRECIATION FOR HIS FIFTY YEARS OF DISTINGUISHED PUBLIC SERVICE TO THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO OFFER BEST WISHES FOR A SATISFYING AND REWARDING RETIREMENT.
  Whereas, for fifty years, the State of South Carolina enjoyed the benefit of the dedication, experience, and leadership of Maceo Nance, former senior advisor to the secretary of commerce for the Department of Commerce, who at the end of 2024 retired after a half-century of outstanding public service;
and   Whereas, in preparation for his long and illustrious career, Mr.
Nance earned his bachelor's degree in business administration at Morehouse College in 1973;
and   Whereas, serving most of his long tenure as director of targeted rural initiatives, Mr.
Nance made a significant impact on the state's economic and community development efforts under nine governors and seven secretaries of commerce.
He held many roles, but what stands out most was his focus on rural South Carolina, where over the course of his career he spearheaded nearly every rural initiative for the Department of Commerce and the former State Development Board;
and   Whereas, he was instrumental in the early success and growth of the South Carolina Rural Summit, which will celebrate its thirty-fifth year in 2025.
Furthermore, he created and crafted the curriculum and programming for the South Carolina Economic Developers' Association and Advanced Symposium cohorts.
These programs have trained and equipped hundreds of economic development professionals and local government officials around the State;
and   Whereas, one of his most recent endeavors was the spearheading of a rural initiative authorized by the General Assembly in 2019.
For this initiative, $65 million was to be dispersed to fourteen focused rural counties to facilitate economic development and infrastructure improvements.
Mr.
Nance spent months meeting with local officials, hearing the needs of their communities, and helping them formulate their grant proposals for the various projects;
and   Whereas, to recognize Mr.
Nance for his many years of service, his colleagues will host a retirement celebration in his honor on February 4, 2025;
and   Whereas, the House of Representatives is grateful for the legacy of consistent commitment and leadership Maceo Nance has bestowed on the people of South Carolina.
Speaking on behalf of his many friends across agencies in state government, the House takes great pleasure in wishing him all the best as he enters retirement, and the members trust he will find much enjoyment in the more leisurely pace of the days ahead.
Now, therefore,   Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
  That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, honor Maceo Nance, former senior advisor to the secretary of commerce for the South Carolina Department of Commerce, on the occasion of his recent retirement, extend deep appreciation for his fifty years of distinguished public service to the State of South Carolina, and offer best wishes for a satisfying and rewarding retirement.
  Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Maceo Nance.
