The Town of Awendaw does not discriminate on the basis of genetic information, age, race, color, national origin, religion, military/veteran status, or disability Detectives with the Charleston County Sheriffs Office will host a free trailer stamping event on Saturday, August 9, 2025, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the agency's Law Enforcement Center in North Charleston. How does it work? CCSO, along with fellow area and state law enforcement agencies, provide an owner-applied number stamped onto participants' trailers. This, along with the trailers' VIN and serial numbers, is then entered into the agency's records system. This has helped identify stolen trailers in the past and can provide an extra layer of security. Flyer below with more information.

Town of Awendaw Officials are monitoring Tropical Storm Chantal as it continues to approach the S.C. coastline. A Tropical Storm Watch and High Surf Advisory are currently in effect.
According to the latest information from the National Weather Service, the storm is currently located off the southeast U.S. coast and is expected to make landfall in the northern part of Charleston County Sunday morning, producing heavy rain, strong winds, and rip currents. The greatest impacts are expected between 10 p.m. tonight and 8 a.m. tomorrow. With the enhanced risk of rip currents and dangerous conditions throughout the weekend, the public is encouraged to remain off the water. Rain totals are expected to near 4 inches, with up to 6 inches possible in some areas. Heavy rainfall could produce periods of flash flooding, particularly coinciding with today’s 5 p.m. high tide. Wind gusts could reach 45 mph along the coast, and potentially stronger across high span brides. As a reminder, Charleston County does not have the authority to close bridges. Click here to review the county’s bridge procedures during high winds. Due to the likelihood of strong winds, isolated power outages and downed tree limbs are possible.

The public hearing scheduled for June 5th, 2025, at 6:30 PM has been cancelled. Ordinances 2025-11 through 16 do not require a public hearing, as the annexations are done using the 100% method. The requirements for these annexation requests are outlined below from the Municipal Association of South Carolina (MASC): 100% Petition and Ordinance Method: A municipality may annex any contiguous area or property upon receipt of a petition signed by all persons owning real estate in the area requesting annexation. Upon agreement to accept the petition and annex the area and enactment of an ordinance by the governing body declaring the area annexed, the annexation is complete pursuant to SC Code Sec. 5-3-150(3). The hearing was initially scheduled in error. I do sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused both the petitioners and residents who have submitted their public comments. Respectfully, Katharine E. Watkins, MPA Town Administrator |
