Mayor's Message
Hello Springdale!
As many of you know, Chief Cornett will soon be leaving Springdale to begin his tenure as the Chief of Police for the City of Isle of Palms. We are excited for Chief Cornett and his family as they begin this new adventure. Chief Cornett has done amazing things for the Town of Springdale and we will miss him. We are so grateful for his hard work and dedication and we know that he will exemplify the same integrity at the City of Isle of Palms.
Andrew “Bear” Richbourg has been appointed as the Incoming Chief of Police of the Springdale Police Department. Chief Richbourg will assume leadership of the department on May 24th, 2019. We are looking forward to the future of the Springdale Police Department under the leadership of Chief Richbourg.
There will be a drop-in honoring Chief Cornett on Friday, May 24, 2019 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Town Hall. Please use this as a time to bid farewell to Chief Cornett and thank him for his service to the Town of Springdale. Chief Richbourg will be in attendance and this is a great opportunity to meet him as well. Light refreshments will be served.

The sun is out and with temperatures reaching the 90’s, the risk of heat related illnesses is increasing. Please be aware that while no one is exempt from the impact of heat related illnesses, the elderly, young children and disabled individuals are at an increased risk of being affected. As a community, let’s keep an eye out for the health and safety of our family, friends and neighbors.
Tickets for the CMRTA’S COMET bus are available for purchase at Town Hall as well as an informational pamphlet that outlines the routes and services of the COMET.
