The City has been working diligently to prepare for a beach renourishment project to address the erosion crisis on the north end of the island. The Mayor has testified in front of Charleston County Council and the State Senate Finance Sales and Income Taxation Subcommittee in an attempt to secure funding and favorable legislation. Both sessions resulted in unanimous votes of support for the City of Isle of Palms. The City is also working with OCRM to finalize our Local Comprehensive Beach Management Plan, an important document that articulates the City's plans for protecting the beach and makes the City eligible for state grants. We are optimistic about the next steps for this renourishment project. Watch our website and this newsletter for updates.
