Charity Street in Abbeville will be transferred from the state to the city. Along with an overlay, Mayor Roslyn White said the city will also look at ways to improve safety on the street.
Abbeville to eventually take over Charity, looks to improve safety

Charity Street runs through a key part of the city of Abbeville.
However, the roadway does not belong to the city, as it is state-owned.
That will change when the city eventually takes over Charity as part of the state’s Road Transfer Program. It’s the program that brought the streets in the downtown area under the city’s umbrella in 2023.
“We are taking Charity from the state,” Mayor Roslyn White said during last Tuesday’s Abbeville City Council meeting, “and it will become a local road.”
