Visit Lake City and Baker’s Sweet provide lunch for TSA employees at Florence Regional Airport
On Friday, January 11th, Visit Lake City SC provided lunch to more than 25 Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees that work at the Florence Regional Airport. With the recent government shutdowns causing TSA employees to not receive paychecks, Visit Lake City SC and Baker’s Sweet took the initiative to do something great for our local government employees. “We wanted to do something to make their day a little easier,” says Seth Kines, executive director of Visit Lake City SC.
TSA is an important entity for our tourism industry. Their continued efforts despite the lack of a paycheck is greatly appreciated. “With ArtFields approaching, it’s crucial artists and attendees can continue flying into Florence Regional Airport,” explains Seth. Something that couldn’t happen without TSA employees.
