“Roads and infrastructure remain a top priority for County leadership and staff. That’s because it’s one of the public’s chief concerns. Enhanced roadways improve traffic and quality of life in our communities. Council and I will continue to prioritize these projects across our entire county as we move into the New Year. We understand there is much to do, and we will continue to commit all resources available to address this critical need.” -Johnny Cribb, Berkeley County Supervisor
