Posted on February 28, 2003 Sanford picks chairmen for transportation board
Gov. Mark Sanford tapped Tee Hooper of Greenville as chairman of the commission and Don Leonard as chairman of the bank board. The commission is responsible for setting policies and priorities for state and federal road projects. Nearly all of the state Department of Transportation's $800 million annual budget comes from federal funds. The infrastructure bank issues bonds to cover large transportation-related projects, typically of more than $100 million. Hooper also will serve as an ex-officio member of the bank board. Hooper is president and chief executive of Profitlab Inc., a company that helps businesses cut telephone bills. He retired from IKON Office Solutions in 2001, where he had been president of the company's Southeast district since 1995. Hooper also served on a task force Sanford set up to study the state's economic development. Leonard is president of Leonard, Call & Associates, a large real estate firm in Myrtle Beach that helped develop the master plan for Kingston Plantation. Leonard was one of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham's "Team 100-Plus," a group of state business and industry leaders who helped fund-raising efforts. |
