Mayor Proposes Changes for Mount Pleasant, SC

By Ashley Thiesen Caldwell | January 28, 2010

Mount Pleasant, SC’s Mayor Billy Swails recently met with business leaders to discuss the future of the quickly growing town. Since taking office in November, Swails has emphasized the town’s commitment to being business friendly. A short meeting at Alhambra Hall was called in an effort to inform the public of the status of Mount Pleasant’s budget.

Focusing on promoting businesses throughout the area east of the Cooper is a rather difficult task, especially this year. The fiscal 2010 budget is a whopping $4 million less than that in 2009. Instead of raising property taxes, Swails has developed a consolidation strategy to save money.

The town has eliminated 32 vacant positions while implementing a wellness program in an effort to save money. This particular program will reduce employee insurance costs dramatically. Additionally, the sanitation department will begin using different trucks, thus reducing operating costs.

Economically, Mayor Swails is taking a calculated approach. He stated that the town is focused on attracting and retaining businesses. The strategy will fill the vacant storefronts before expanding and building new locations.

Another point of interest was the lack of a Main Street. The town of Mount Pleasant is looking to expand roadways to create more investment corridors. These roads include Coleman Boulevard, Johnnie Dodds Boulevard, Long Point Road, Patriots Point and Oakland Plantation.

The town is also looking to benefit from Boeing’s recent decision to put a manufacturing plant in North Charleston. Mount Pleasant is hoping that many spin-off businesses and vendors locate within its city limits.

Over $150 million in road and intersection projects are planned for the upcoming year. The major projects include: $70 million for widening of Johnnie Dodds Boulevard from the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge to the Kmart property at Bowman Road; $50 million for the overpass at Interstate 526 and Hungryneck Boulevard; and $15 million for the widening of U.S. Highway 17 from the Isle of Palms Connector to S.C. Highway 41.

Despite the numerous changes and ongoing roadway construction, Mount Pleasant, SC is one of the most highly desired areas for homebuyers in the nation.

Water Taxi Seeks New Dock

By Ashley Thiesen Caldwell | January 11, 2010

Charleston Mt. Pleasant Water Taxi

Hailing a taxi could have a whole new meaning here in Charleston, SC.

Charleston’s Parks and Capital Projects Department applied for a permit from federal regulators to build a new floating dock near historic downtown Charleston. This dock would allow various private water taxi companies to operate in Waterfront Park.

This new dock would allow tourists and passengers to have easy access to the heart of the historic district from various areas around Charleston Harbor.

One particular company, the Charleston Water Taxi, currently loops about 10 times daily between the Charleston Harbor Marina at Patriots Point and nearby hotels in Mount Pleasant and the Charleston Maritime Center, near the South Carolina Aquarium downtown.

Many supporters argue that the new dock would showcase Charleston’s beautiful waterfront while decreasing demands on public transportation. The estimated cost of the proposed dock is about $150,000.

Following their proposed expansion to the new Waterfront Park, Charleston Water Taxi hopes to expand to Daniel Island. From there they have their sights set on Mount Pleasant’s Memorial Waterfront Park as well as a stop in North Charleston. They also plan to launch a more traditional taxi service on a separate boat that will ferry passengers to locations at their request.

We think that whether you’re a local or a tourist, you’ll find a water taxi a delightful and inexpensive adventure. What are your thoughts?

First tree-lighting at Memorial Waterfront Park

By Ashley Thiesen Caldwell | November 30, 2009

Mount Pleasant will hold its town Christmas-tree-lighting ceremony at Memorial Waterfront Park this year, officially flipping the switch at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 2 at the park near the foot of the Ravenel Bridge.

The 21-foot-tall tree, which features almost 600 Christmas lights and a star on top, will help “create a new tradition,” Mount Pleasant Mayor Billy Swails said.

“Santa will arrive on a bright red fire truck to listen to Christmas requests and distribute candy canes,” he said. “Entertainment will include local performers, and a Toys for Tots drive will be held at 7 p.m. in the Cooper River Room at the Visitor Center. Bring your children and good cheer and help us usher the Christmas season into our wonderful town!”

For details on the “Tree of Lights” ceremony, contact Su McManus-Frost at 884-8517.
