Town of Summerville

After 27 years of unwavering dedication and service to the Summerville community, Deputy Chief John O'Meara delivered his final sign-off, marking the beginning of a well-earned retirement. Deputy Chief O'Meara, your commitment, leadership, and impact have left an indelible mark on our town. Thank you for your years of selfless service and for protecting and serving with honor. We wish you all the best as you begin this new chapter in life—you've more than earned it. Enjoy your retirement!

🎄 Have you heard of the Christmas pickle? It’s a fun tradition where you hunt for the hidden pickle ornament on the tree for a prize and bragging rights until next Christmas! This year, we took it up a notch and hid the pickle in Town Hall. Town employees searched high and low for their chance to win! Congrats to Frank for finding the pickle at the 2nd Annual Town Hall Pickle-Finding Competition! 🏆 #ChristmasPickle #TownHallFun #SummervilleSC

The Town of Summerville is taking significant steps toward revitalizing the community with the help of the EPA Brownfields Grant. Here’s a snapshot of the ranked priorities identified by our Steering Committee for assessing potential properties. This important work will guide us in identifying sites that can be transformed into valuable spaces for future development. The committee collectively ranked the following criteria in order of personal importance (1 being most important to 8 being less important), in order to rank assessment needs for suggested properties in the community. The criteria will be applied when determining what properties would most benefit the community as a whole from use of brownfield assessment funds. The document shows the average rankings taken from committee members individual ranking results. Stay tuned for more updates as we work toward a cleaner, greener Summerville. 💪🌿 Find out more at https://buff.ly/4fenMSo.
