William Wilkes is taking on a new leadership role for the region. The Camden City Council member has been elected Chairman of the Board for the Santee Wateree Regional Transportation Authority—becoming the first chairman from Kershaw County since the agency began in 1978. Wilkes says improving transportation means expanding access to jobs, healthcare, and essential services. The authority works to coordinate public transit and strengthen connections across the region. City leaders say the appointment highlights Camden’s growing role in regional partnerships and economic development.
