Workshop on Proposed Park Site

Councilman Mary Beth Berry, the chairman of the Town's Environmental and Beautification Committee, and I have agreed to bring forward a proposed site for a new Town park.   The location is at the end of Bradham Road.   Bradham Road  is off Riverland Drive near Central Park Road.

 The parcel is approximately 11 acres high ground and 11 acres marsh.  It is long and narrow.  On the north side is a long and narrow lake.   The parcel has frontage on the Stono River..   It is under City of Charleston jurisdiction.  The parcel is outlined in red.

There will be a workshop on Thursday, July 25th at 6:00 PM at Town Hall.   The property owners will be there to answer questions from Council about the parcel.   There will also be an opportunity for members of the public to make comments.

The funds to pay for a park will come from the Town's Greenbelt allocation.   The Town's allocation is approximately $1.1 million.  These are funds that come from the 1/2 sales tax.

Final approval of any new park will occur at a future Town Council meeting.   The workshop is only for information purposes.
