Summary
At a Charleston County Historic Preservation Commission meeting the commission elected English Hertel as chair and Donna Gardner as vice chair; the vice-chair balloting required a runoff after an initial tie.
The Charleston County Historic Preservation Commission elected English Hertel chair and Donna Gardner vice chair during its regular meeting. The commission voted by roll call; the newly elected officers will begin their terms at the close of the meeting.
