Quoted from today’s Post & Courier:

Town Council voted Tuesday to negotiate to buy 43 acres on the northern side of Shem Creek from developers who plan a marina and condominiums on the property.

As a resident of Mt. Pleasant, I’m happy to see Town Council actively working to preserve land; especially water front property. Even if the area is developed into a park, the plan would mitigate further polluting Shem Creek by increased boat traffic. Having watched my own little estuary off the Chesapeake Bay turn into a chemical filled cesspool, I applaud any move by our local government to maintain Charleston’s waterways.
