The Town of Lyman will hold a public ceremony on April 17 to rename the Park of Lyman as "Allison Park" and the adjacent street as "Rita Allison Way" in honor of former State Representative Rita Allison. Allison, a lifelong resident of Lyman, served in the South Carolina House of Representatives for over two decades and played a significant role in shaping education policy across the state. The ceremony is open to the public and will be followed by a reception at the Lyman Event Center at Pacific Place.
