Residents of Georgetown and Williamsburg counties are invited to attend public input meetings on drainage and flooding issues this month. The meetings, hosted by the S.C. Office of Resilience and contractor McCormick Taylor, will take place from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Jan. 30 and 31.
The Jan. 30 meeting will be at Howard Auditorium, 1610 Hawkins St., Georgetown. The Jan. 31 meeting will be at Santee Community Center, 1484 Mount Zion Ave, Georgetown. A brief presentation will begin at 6 p.m. Attendees will be asked to share their knowledge and experiences with local flooding and drainage issues. The goal is to identify and propose alternatives to mitigate drainage and flooding problems.
This meeting should be attended by anyone who has experienced flooding or drainage problems, as well as anyone interested in learning more about this study and the Office of Resilience.
Anyone who cannot attend, but would like to provide input, may contact Hassan Ismail, project manager, at hismail@mccormicktaylor.com or (803) 251-9845.
