Re: Keep Bamberg County Beautiful Leads Successful Clean-Up of Salty Road and Lazy Lane as the Area Gets Long Awaited Road Improvements

Bamberg, South Carolina (July 2024) – Keep Bamberg County Beautiful (KBCB) and Bamberg County Public Information Officer Alisha Moore coordinated a successful community clean-up on Saturday, July 27. They focused on the Salty Road and Lazy Lane area, which has been in dire need of a general beautification and road improvement project. County Councilman Spencer Donaldson, who has been advocating for the repair and improvement of these roads for quite some time, finally secured funding approval from the Bamberg County C-Fund Committee. The road work began last week, and while there will be minor disruptions, both Salty Road and Lazy Lane will remain open for the duration of this enhancement project.

Community volunteers and local officials joined forces with KBCB, collecting 31 trash bags and a tire in just two and a half hours. This demonstrates what can be accomplished when people work together with a common purpose and goal.

The impressive group of volunteers included:

County Councilman Spencer Donaldson, District 4
County Councilman Larry Haynes, District 3
Denmark Councilwoman Chandra Williams
County Public Information Officer Alisha Moore
KBCB Board Members Jerry Bell, Nina Haynes, Rosella Cooper, and Catherine Russell
Denmark-Olar Cheerleading Team
Bamberg County Community Members

When asked why this project is so important to him, Councilman Spencer Donaldson said, “It’s quite simple; all Bamberg County citizens deserve to live in a safe and clean environment. We are grateful to all community leaders and citizens, including the C-Fund Committee, who are helping us make Salty Road and Lazy Lane a source of pride rather than an eyesore. I know this is a project many of the Lazy Lane and Salty Road residents have anticipated for some time. I am happy that we have received the necessary funding approval to make this plan a reality. ”

Bamberg County Public Information Officer Alisha Moore and KBCB Director expressed gratitude to everyone who came out Saturday morning: “I am so thankful that so many community leaders and citizens dedicated a couple of hours of their weekend to help us beautify this area. Together, we can accomplish our goal to Keep Bamberg County Beautiful and enhance its overall aesthetic appeal.”
