(Orangeburg, SC) – Representative Jerry Govan (D-SC 93), newly elected to serve South Carolina House District 93, will host the first in a series of Town Hall meetings on Thursday, Feb. 6, at Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College. This event begins with registration and a meet-and-greet at 5:30 p.m., followed by the Town Hall from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The theme of this year’s Town Hall series is “Building Stronger Communities: Unlocking Resources Together.” Each meeting will focus on identifying challenges and meeting the needs of District 93 residents and surrounding communities, with an emphasis on inter-agency collaboration and increasing access to vital resources.
“I look forward to bringing together local, state, and federal officials to share information and address pressing concerns,” said Representative Govan. “Our goal is to foster open dialogue, build stronger communities, and ensure constituents have direct access to the resources they need.”
The first Town Hall will focus on the ongoing issues related to flooding, road closures, and other extreme weather impacts that have affected the region over the past several months. The program will feature a panel discussion and Q&A session with representatives from agencies including the South Carolina Department of Transportation, the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services Dam Safety Program, the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff, and FEMA. A second panel, composed of administrative officials from Calhoun, Orangeburg, and Lexington Counties and Emergency Services, will brief the public on current situations and preparations for future emergency responses.
To sign up for this event, please contact Ms. Laurie Walden, Legislative Aide, at (803) 212-6945 or email Representative Govan at jerrygovan@schouse.gov.
