06/18/2026 - Charleston County Council

The Charleston County Council held a meeting on June 18, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. Key topics included the extension of a moratorium in historic districts, with debate over exemptions for certain communities and properties, ultimately resulting in a 24-month extension for all historic districts except the Tisdale property. The council also reviewed funding policies for outside agencies and discussed urban entitlement grants, including Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) with allocations toward affordable housing and community programs. Additionally, the council approved engineering inspection services related to a construction project through a park, clarifying that this was not the construction contract itself. A tax abatement project involving a multi-county park and partnership with Colleton County was also addressed, with council members voting on related parcels and agreements. Some members recused themselves due to conflicts of interest. The meeting concluded with approvals of various items and no further business.
