Lowcountry Lowline and Bradford Park funding gap

Charleston

Summary

The Lowline is under construction and slated to open by July 2028, but Bradford Park is about $2.5-3 million short. The Mayor wants the city to bridge the gap through the Cooper River TIF and be repaid as Friends of the Lowline finish fundraising — building it all at once avoids costly remobilization.
