This statue is dedicated to the memory of Roy Lane, who served as Spartanburg City Manager from February 1996 to June 2001. He was a man of vision and passion who showed us all how to raise expectations of ourselves and our city. His legacy will forever be seen, felt, and heard in and around the Spartanburg Community. How can we best honor the short life of Roy Lane? By carrying forth and building on the solid foundation he laid for restoration of our great city.
