Summerville, SC – March 2, 2020 –
The Greater Summerville/Dorchester County Chamber of Commerce will host a series of public listening sessions to gather community input on the potential boutique hotel in downtown Summerville. As the voice of business in Summerville, the Chamber works to promote economic development and maintain small town charm.
“We as a Chamber are committed to serving as a convener for important issues in our community,” said Rita Berry, President/CEO of the Greater Summerville/Dorchester County Chamber of Commerce. “Quality of life and economic prosperity are top priorities and we are pleased to provide an opportunity for open discussion.”
The sessions will provide opportunities for community members to voice their ideas, priorities, and concerns regarding a boutique hotel project in the downtown area. The sessions will be moderated by consultant David McNair, an expert in organizational and leadership development and founder of the McNair Group. The sessions are being solely hosted and run by the Chamber and are not in partnership with the Town of Summerville.
The listening sessions will take place on Thursday, March 5, 2020 from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and on Tuesday, March 10, 2020 from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Both sessions will be held at the Public Works Arts Center at 135 West Richardson Avenue, Summerville, SC.
