County administrator lists infrastructure projects, training gaps and upcoming EOC bid
Summary
County Administrator Joey R. Preston summarized recent and upcoming county activity including water tower ribbon cutting, groundbreakings for Tractor Supply and Riley Drive, preparation of a bid package for a new Emergency Operations Center, and concerns about local EMT training capacity following the loss of Denmark Technical College certification.
County Administrator Joey R. Preston gave the council his monthly report, summarizing completed and upcoming projects: a November 20 water tower ribbon cutting, meetings with courthouse engineers, groundbreakings on December 9 for a Tractor Supply in Denmark and for Riley Drive, and preparations for an Emergency Operations Center bid package planned for January or February. He also noted a December event at Voorhees University where a grant and business pitch award were given to a Bamberg entrepreneur.
Preston flagged a workforce training concern: the loss of Denmark Technical College as a certified EMT training facility has reduced recruitment and availability of new EMS staff. He said Orangeburg Calhoun Technical College retains EMT certification and was recommended as a local source of trained candidates. The council accepted the administrator's report as information.
