Fire Stations, Mead Westvaco and School Funding on This Week's Agendas

The Goose Creek City Council will hold a workshop, at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, July 24, in Council Chambers, 519 N. Goose Creek Blvd.

The main topic will be in the city. A proposed site purchase from Alcoa fell through, leading the city to readjust plans for new fire stations. City Administrator Dennis Harmon expects to propose a new fire headquarters on existing city property and a new fire substation near the St. James Avenue Walmart.

The City Council will also hold its annual strategic planning workshop beginning at 8:30 a.m. Friday, July 27, in the multi-purpose room at the Goose Creek Recreation Center next to the municipal complex.
