The Greening of Charleston County

With new green spaces opening up across Charleston County the proverbial "walk in the park" will soon be more convenient than ever!

"At their regular meeting on Tuesday, June 19, Charleston County Council unanimously approved a total of $2,402,471 for six Urban Grant Program projects in the first round of Transportation "Half-Cent" Sales Tax funds dedicated for greenbelts.

Now that funds have been awarded for the first round of the Urban Grant Program projects, approximately $25 million is still available for upcoming projects in this category. Approximately $55 million is available for Rural Grant Program projects. County Council will consider the first round of Rural Grant Program projects at their July 12 Finance Committee meeting."
