## Resource

Mount Pleasant town leaders are pushing to extend a two-year pause on big developments in historic Black neighborhoods like Ten Mile, Phillips, and Hamlin Beach—areas poised to lose their unique character if development proceeds too fast. With zoning rules mismatched between the town and Charleston County, officials are racing to update regulations before irreversible changes happen. To prevent developers from exploiting loopholes, a new “ordinance doctrine” may be adopted to block annexation tactics. Mayor Will Haynie stresses that once homes are built, they can’t be undone, making this pause critical for preserving heritage while crafting smarter, long-term protections. The council is expected to vote soon—with a final decision likely by August—ensuring these historic communities aren’t lost to unchecked growth.
