Summary
Mount Pleasant’s Town Council just approved the $250 million Highway 41 Corridor Improvement Project — a bold move to widen the highway to four lanes, with a historic three-lane stretch through Phillips Community preserved. A new two-lane Laurel Hill Parkway will connect the route, sparking debate over its impact on Laurel Hill Park — though environmentalists say it’s the least damaging option. Critics argue the project won’t fix traffic and demand alternatives, while some council members felt pressured to vote yes after Charleston County warned funding was at risk without approval. Permits aim for completion by September, with construction slated to begin early next year. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
