Whereas, the South Carolina Senate is pleased to join the City of Tega Cay in celebrating its thirtieth anniversary this year; and

Whereas, a York County recreational communityformed in 1972 and incorporated in 1982, Tega Cay lies on a peninsula of Lake Wylie.

Whereas, the area’s hilly terrain is densely forested and contains many species of hardwoods and pines, as well as varied wildlife. Recreational facilities abound, including twentyseven holes of golf with a clubhouse and pavilion, eight lighted tennis courts, several miles of walking trails, and four cityowned parks. Two of theseparks have baseball and soccer fields for public use, in addition to a beach and swimming center, marina, and three boatlaunch areas. More such attractions are in the planning stages; and

Whereas, approximately eight thousand strong, the citizens of Tega Cay have earned the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA award, which recognizes outstanding urban and community forestry programs; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are grateful during Tega Cay’s trigentennial celebration for the contributions the City of Tega Cay makes to the Palmetto State and for the exceptional leadership of Mayor George Sheppard and Tega Cay City Council membersDottie Hersey, Stephen Perkins, Chris LandvikLarsen, and Ronald T. Kirby. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the City of Tega Cay and congratulate Mayor George Sheppard, the city council members, and the citizens of Tega Cay for three decades of displaying the charm and strength of this lakeside beauty spot.
