$2.8M North Charleston Greenspace Purchase

For someone who has been around as long as I have and with so much faith in the potential of the area, it's really wonderful to see North Charleston coming into it's own. Better and better! It's an exciting time to live in the Lowcountry!

"Sometimes the most prosperous development is no development at all. One of North Charleston’s oldest land owners sold its last remaining parcels to the city in a deal that closed March 25.

It’s a story that hearkens back to North Charleston’s roots, where visionaries such as Rhett and Montague – the men whose names now grace the streets that cut through the heart of the historic city – saw potential in what would eventually become the thriving, and then struggling, and now revitalizing Park Circle area.

For $2.8 million, the city of North Charleston will acquire the land largely running along Noisette and Filbin creeks that for the last 75 years belonged to the North Charleston Lands Corp. All but 20 acres of the land must remain open green space as a caveat of the sale."
