Beaufort County will hold a virtual public meeting for Laurel Bay Road Pathway, one of the 24 locations approved in the 2018 One Cent Sales Tax Referendum. The Virtual Public Meeting will be hosted beginning Monday, March 20 through Thursday, April 20.

To join the meeting, please log in to www.beaufortcountypenny.com/meetings.

The County received a $3.39 million grant this past January from the Military Enhancement Plan Fund administered by the South Carolina Department of Veterans’ Affairs (SCDVA) who is expediting the project. The remainder of the funds are from the 2018 One Cent Sales Tax Program.  

The Laurel Bay Road Pathway project is a proposed 10’ shared-use path from US 21 (Trask Parkway) to the Laurel Bay Military Housing Complex. By replacing the existing asphalt path on the north side of Laurel Bay Road with the 10’ concrete path, it will increase and enhance pedestrian and bicyclist safety and improve connectivity for all users along the corridor.

The proposed design exhibits and other project information are available on the virtual meeting webpage. Visit www.beaufortcountypenny.com/meetings to participate in the meeting and submit comments by Thursday, April 20.
