Georgetown, SC is turning the page on a new chapter in local government — and the community has plenty to celebrate. The city has officially welcomed the new Clarence C. Smalls City Hall, a milestone facility that marks a significant upgrade for residents and city staff alike. The move comes as Georgetown closes the doors on its old City Hall and transitions to the new building, which now serves as the home of local government operations.

The naming of the facility after Clarence C. Smalls is itself a meaningful moment for the community, honoring a name that carries weight in Georgetown’s history. The new City Hall represents not just a change of address, but a fresh, modern space designed to better serve the people of Georgetown for years to come.

Adding to the good news on the waterfront, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and contractor Southern Dredging have completed a major dredging project at Georgetown Harbor. The work, which wrapped up recently, cleared hazards in key channels, making the harbor safer and more navigable for boaters, commercial vessels, and all who depend on Georgetown’s storied waterways. The completion of this infrastructure project is a win for the local maritime economy and for the many residents and visitors who enjoy the harbor.

Together, these two developments — a brand-new City Hall and a freshly cleared harbor — signal a season of renewal and investment in Georgetown. From the halls of local government to the waters that define this coastal community, Georgetown is looking ahead with optimism. Residents can look forward to visiting the new Clarence C. Smalls City Hall and enjoying smoother sailing through Georgetown Harbor in the days ahead.
