SCDOT presented the award to the groups at the Adopt-A-Highway 20th Anniversary Celebration and Awards Ceremony at Seawell’s in Columbia. The annual event is held by SCDOT to recognize the volunteer-citizen groups, coordinators and SCDOT employees for their participation in the Adopt-A-Highway program.
To commemorate the 20th Anniversary Celebration and to say thank you to the AAH volunteers, SCDOT partnered with the South Carolina Alliance To Fix Our Roads to offer two one-time scholarships at this year’s program. Two high school seniors who are accepted to attend college in South Carolina this fall and have participated or whose family is involved with the Adopt-A-Highway Program wrote a 500-word essay entitled “The Benefits of the Adopt-A-Highway Program to South Carolina and the Environment.” Loresa Starks of Calhoun County and Josiah Roupe of Lexington County were presented scholarship awards at the ceremony.
CMC Steel South Carolina of Cayce, FUJI FILM Manufacturing U.S.A. Inc. of Greenwood, Gentry’s Poultry Co. Inc. of Ward, Nucor Steel of Darlington, Palmetto Pride of Columbia, and Milliken & Co. of Spartanburg, helped sponsor the event.
