​Jimmy Evans, Orangeburg

A believer in the value of downtown development, Jimmy Evans left his mark on the City of Orangeburg when he died unexpectedly in January 2016.

As a board member and board president of the Downtown Orangeburg Revitalization Association, Jimmy knew first-hand the issues facing Orangeburg’s downtown redevelopment. His insight, practical knowledge and will to get things done helped city leaders, business owners and volunteers plot a plan to revitalize downtown and make it a destination again.

Jimmy’s company, AMCO Construction, was the general contractor for several of the City of Orangeburg’s recent facade grant recipients. In working on these projects, Jimmy’s company went above and beyond the grant requirements to beautify downtown.

Over the years, Jimmy and his company provided in-kind staffing for the Orangeburg Downtown Farmers Market. As well, he was the general contractor in the renovation of 1122 Church Street, which created a concept shop and rental-ready space downtown.

Jimmy Evans truly left his mark on downtown Orangeburg.
