NEW 9-11 MEMORIAL PROPERTY IS “GREAT,” SAYS SHIRLEY

In swapping properties, Oconee’s 9-11 Memorial Committee is exchanging one major thoroughfare for another. By relinquishing the property on highway 11 at the Walhalla High School, the committee loses the leisure traffic attracted to the Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway. However, Brandon Shirley says SC 183/the Pickens Highway, in front of the Walhalla Middle School, is a major thoroughfare for Walhalla. And Shirley calls the new property location “great.”
