October 13, 2026 - Mount Pleasant Special Town Council & Town Council Meetings

The Town of Mount Pleasant Special and Regular Town Council meetings were held October 13, 2026. Council unanimously approved settlement of the Deerline et al. lawsuit, described as preserving a substantial portion of land in the northern part of town. On procurement and spending, council approved construction of the 516 Coleman Boulevard parking lot project; staff reported bids were within budget, but the transcript did not identify the contractor or award amount. Council also approved $142,500 in Accommodations Tax funding for 13 events and organizations, including Charleston Wine + Food and the Cooper River Bridge Run ($23,000 each), Charleston Race Week ($15,000), and SC Surf Soccer ($20,000). Three grants were approved, including a $24,645 Highway Safety Grant with no local match. Council authorized a $2.5 million lease-purchase agreement; further terms were not clear in the transcript. It also approved a tree canopy manager position, with an estimated salary of about $70,000 and total cost of roughly $100,000 including benefits.

Council approved an RFP for an independent economic feasibility and land-use study of the town-owned Faison Road property, including town-wide public input, rather than proceeding directly with an RFP inviting development proposals. A data-center moratorium was extended to two years on final reading. The proposed Oakland Plantation development amendment was sent back to the Planning Committee after a motion to deny failed; no development approval was made. The transcript did not identify vendors or contract numbers for the approved purchases.
