Whereas, a portion of the Bellamy family land was subsequently released by the United States government to allow for the construction of what was then referred to as Highway 17 Bypass, and which is today known as US Highway 17; and

Whereas, the recently constructed flyover interchange of US Highway 17 and Farrow Parkway is situated almost entirely on property which was originally owned by the Bellamy family;and

Whereas, the Bellamy family continues to be an integral part of Horry County through participation in the public and private sectors. They have served our country in multiple branches of the armed services, including multiple theatres of war; and
