• Newborn boy safely surrendered at Lowcountry hospital under South Carolina's Daniel's Law (wjcl.com) — A newborn boy was safely surrendered at HCA Healthcare Summerville Hospital under South Carolina's Daniel's Law and is now in DSS foster care.

• 1121 Whitehouse Rd, Summerville, SC 29486 (redfin.com) — A Berkeley County zoning notice lists 1121 Whitehouse Road in Summerville as part of the Flex1 agricultural district, aimed at preserving rural character while allowing limited residential use. For Summerville residents, this means nearby land is being guided toward continued agricultural and conservation-focused uses, with development intensity and infrastructure demands intentionally kept in check.
   

• SCDOT terminates traffic-control contractor after I-26 gridlock; new work-zone rules set (abcnews4.com) — Summerville commuters recently endured nearly three-hour drives to downtown Charleston after an I-26 work zone wasn't cleared before rush hour, prompting SCDOT to fire its traffic-control contractor. State officials have now imposed stricter rules requiring more on-site staff so lane closures can be removed quickly, aiming to prevent similar gridlock for Summerville drivers.
