Charleston County is advancing plans to improve Highway 41 through Mount Pleasant, including adding a sidewalk from the Gas Station at Wando to US-17, and building a “Southern Parkway” to connect Highway 41 to Park West Boulevard. Parts of the project would cut through Laurel Hill County Park, affecting around 10 acres of parkland and some wetlands. Residents, especially from the historically significant Phillips Community, are pushing back due to environmental, tree loss, wildlife, and preservation concerns. Right-of-way approvals are still pending from state transportation authorities.
How It Relates to Your Property
Projects like the Highway 41 expansion can bring both upsides, easier access, improved road safety, and downsides, loss of green space, increased traffic, and environmental changes. These changes might affect your quality of life, view, property edges, and sometimes even require regulatory or governmental approval near your property line. Being informed early through monitoring means fewer surprises later.
