# Town Council Meeting  10/08/2026  6pm

The Town of Summerville Town Council’s regular meeting on October 8, 2026, included a first-reading approval of a nonexclusive franchise agreement for Lumos Fiber of South Carolina LLC to install fiber-optic cable in public rights-of-way and adjacent utility easements to provide telecommunications services. This is a vendor opportunity to deploy digital infrastructure; no purchase price or contract value was stated. The council also adopted the 2026 comprehensive plan update and approved several annexation, rezoning, and Unified Development Ordinance measures, including first-reading changes to lot-coverage standards and rules for restaurants, convenience stores, accessory dwelling units, and accessory structures.

The council voted to take over ownership of privately owned Dax Lane. Members discussed a county commitment to resurface the road, the town’s limited road funding, and the precedent for potentially taking on 135 other private roads totaling about 19 miles; no cost was specified. Other actions included adopting the 2027 council and committee meeting schedule and approving a first reading to extend the period before a land use is considered abandoned from 90 to 180 days. No other contract awards, bid approvals, or spending allocations were identified.
