It’s incredible to witness Berkeley County’s rapid growth firsthand. The new businesses and housing developments are a testament to the area’s appeal. But with all this growth, I’m curious about how the infrastructure is keeping up. 🚧 Are there any upcoming projects aimed at improving traffic flow or public transportation? 🚌 While the expansion is exciting, I hope we maintain the small-town charm that makes Berkeley so special.
