There is also a fifth Civitas statue inside City Hall. The Rock Hill Economic Development Corporation commissioned Audrey Flack in 1988 to produce the statues with each Civitas holding a different circular emblem to signify: Gears of Industry; Flame of Knowledge; Stars of Inspiration; and Lightning Bolt of Energy.
