Topics getting the most attention in Charleston public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
West Ashley City Office Building Expansion and GMP
The city's new West Ashley office building project would grow by about $188,576 because the contractor wouldn't carry Builders Risk insurance as planned. The project is funded mostly by a future GO bond.
Broad Street Sidewalk Repairs and Improvements
A $495,585 contract with Wildwood Contractors would rebuild bluestone sidewalks on Broad Street from King to East Bay — the first phase of a $4.1 million project funded by accommodations taxes.
Series 2026 Bond Issuance for Capital Improvements
The Public Facilities Corporation is considering authorizing up to $90 million in installment purchase revenue bonds to finance a City of Charleston project. This financing shapes how a major public facility gets paid for and could influence future city debt obligations.
