BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.–Berkeley County will host a public meeting at Cane Bay High School, located at 1624 State Road Summerville, S.C., on October 24, from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. The meeting aims to answer questions and provide information regarding the proposed widening of US-176.

This meeting will have a drop-in type format with displays for viewing, and citizens will have the opportunity to provide written comments. The design is preliminary and as such your input will be evaluated and incorporated into the project where feasible.
