City Council Approves $3M to jumpstart Lowline!
Money allocated from the Cooper River Bridge Redevelopment Plan TIF
In September 2021, City Council approved the recommendations from the Community Development Committee to move forward with a TIF Bond from the Cooper River Bridge Redevelopment Area. The $12.9 million bond will go to projects like improvements to Martin Park, Street sidewalks, investing in land acquisition for affordable housing, and creating a walkway, bikeway and stormwater improvements from Huger St. to Mt. Pleasant Street to start the Lowline project. The Lowline project will be allocated roughly $3M dollars, $2.24 Pathways/Bikeways, $750K stormwater improvements.

The Lowline's Three Districts
North Central Corridor
Mt. Pleasant Street to Romney Street
This district embraces the neighborhoods surrounding it. Expanding under I-26, this space can become a space for many different types of active and passive recreation.
The Parks
Romney Street to Spring Street
This district has the opportunity for the widest areas of green space and to manage stormwater for the peninsula. These spaces can be gathering spaces for Charleston.
Urban Core
Spring Street to Calhoun Street
This district will resemble a classic Charleston alley way. With heavy foot traffic from King and Meeting Street, this will be a narrow path with lots of activity from tourism.
