Other than the reply above, the primary advantage of living in Sumter rather than Marion is the influence one has with county gov't. In Marion, number of TV residents in relation to the county as a whole is minuscule. TV is no more important to Marion than any other mid-size housing development. In Sumter, TV is really the straw that stirs the drink. It is the major source of jobs, taxes, and votes in the county. In Sumter, you know your Commissioners personally, regularly seeing them on the Squares or at about any public gathering. Law enforcement and other county officials routinely speak at neighborhood and club meetings. You're just more a part of the county in Sumter. And your street name isn't 75 characters long.
