Clarendon County Council will meet Monday, January 12, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at Council Chambers in Manning (411 Sunset Dr.) to recognize community service and take up several items that could shape the county’s finances and future growth.
Council will honor Councilman W.J. Frierson Sr. for his service, recognize county employees, and hear a presentation from the American Heart Association. Business items include approval of the FY 2026–2027 budget schedule, a regional wastewater system agreement, and a $142,500 tourism marketing request from the Clarendon County Chamber of Commerce.
The agenda also includes multiple zoning ordinances, including proposed changes affecting agricultural land and potential commercial or residential conservation development. Time is set aside for public comment, with residents required to sign in before the meeting begins.
Why It Matters
Decisions made at this meeting could influence how county tax dollars are planned, where future development occurs, and how Clarendon County promotes tourism and economic activity.
Zoning changes can affect neighboring property owners, traffic, and land use, while budget planning sets priorities for the coming year. Public participation offers residents a chance to speak directly on issues that impact their communities.
