Summerville, SC – March 2, 2020 – The Greater Summerville/Dorchester County Chamber of Commerce will host a series of public listening sessions to gather community input on the potential boutique hotel in downtown Summerville. As the voice of business in Summerville, the Chamber works to promote economic development and maintain small town charm.
