Town Hall Location

The Town is putting together a site for the new Town Hall.   The total site will be just over two acres and will be made up of two parcels in the Town and part of a third parcel that is under City of Charleston jurisdiction.

All three parcels are near the corner of Dills Bluff and Camp Road, very close to the current location of Town Hall.

Two long vacant parcels are located on Dills Bluff Road.   The first, 1122 Dills Bluff, is next door to First Baptist Church's Landmark Center.   The second, 1126 Dills Bluff, is next door to the first parcel and ends at Hillman Drive.   Together, these two parcels are 1.47 acres, making up 72% of the total site.   Most of the Town Hall site will be under Town jurisdiction.

It is our intention for Town Hall to front on Dills Bluff Road and for the driveway to be there as well.

The other parcel is on Camp Road, and it also next door the the Landmark Center of First Baptist Church.   The address is 1109 Camp Road.   There is a house on the property, but working with the owner, the Town subdivided off the house leaving 1.37 acres.   The Town is seeking slightly more than 1/2 acre of the rear portion of that parcel to add to our other two parcels.   That parcel is under City of Charleston jurisdiction.   This will make up 28% of the total site.   It will make up the rear of the site.  



The Town has been working with City of Charleston planning about subdivision and rezoning of the back portion of  site.   I have spoken with Mayor Tecklenburg and City Councilwoman Kathleen Wilson.  Both are committed to working with the Town on this matter.

I don't see adding this parcel to the other two as a problem.
