Elliott Summey, former chair of Charleston County Council, has yet to hand over invoices, receipts and truck counts two years after a multi-million-dollar sand-mining project in Awendaw, according to a story in Saturday’s P&C.
The town had hoped the deal would help to create and pay for a lake that would become the centerpiece of a new park. Through an attorney, Summey said he believed his company lived up to its agreement. Summey, who now runs the Charleston International Airport, is son of North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey.
