Council Member Alice Howard and Beaufort County Engineering are hosting a community meeting for the Shell Point neighborhood Thursday, April 7, 6 p.m. at Shell Point Baptist Church (map).

Topics will include an update on the Shell Point stormwater project which is in the design phase and applying for grants to secure funding.

Beaufort County Stormwater is actively working on a Hazard Mitigation Grant with the South Carolina Emergency Management Division to help fund a portion of the Shell Point Drainage Improvement Projects.

The Stormwater Department is currently working through the bidding process to have a design and permitting engineer group hired to assist as the project moves forward.

Also to be discussed: pedestrian access and safety improvements throughout the neighborhood.
