Purpose:
The I-526 Lowcountry Corridor EAST study runs 11 miles from Virginia Avenue in North Charleston to approximately US 17 in Mount Pleasant. As a Planning & Environment Linkages (PEL) study, the purpose of the study is to determine the needs along the corridor on I-526 from Virginia Avenue in North Charleston to US 17 in Mount Pleasant. The purpose of the meeting is to provide an opportunity to discuss individually with representatives of the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT), the needs of the I-526 corridor, explain the PEL study process, and provide an update to the community on the study. Another purpose of the meeting will be to gather input from the public or any interested organization on historic or cultural resources in the area. SCDOT is seeking input as a part of this public information meeting to assist in identifying information relative to this study.
Process:
Tentative schedules for completion of this Planning and Environment Linkages (PEL) Study will be discussed. Maps of the study area and existing conditions will be available, and citizens may ask questions and provide comments regarding the possible social, economic, and environmental effects of the study. Property owners and business owners on or near the study area are urged to attend.
