Today's riddle: What is full of holes but still holds water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Dorchester County's 500 N. Main redevelopment moves closer to construction (abcnews4.com) — Dorchester County's long-discussed redevelopment of 500 N. Main Street in Summerville is finally nearing construction, starting with a new 42,000‑square‑foot county office building and a park with a Veterans Memorial. The project aims to better connect the site to downtown and Hutchinson Square, preserve the historic hospital core and live oaks, and ultimately add a hotel and retail that could boost local business activity.
• Charleston County's finance committee to consider resolution backing CARTA eminent domain action at fairgrounds (counton2.com) — A Charleston County finance committee vote could determine whether CARTA can use eminent domain to take six acres at the Ladson Fairgrounds for a park‑and‑ride tied to the Lowcountry Rapid Transit line between Summerville and Charleston. The decision follows a court setback over missing county approval and could keep the long‑planned bus rapid transit project on track while the land dispute with fair organizers continues.
• Walker eyes opportunity (thecolumbiastar.com) — Summerville football fans will remember Julian Walker for his sack against the Green Wave in last year's 5A Division I state championship, and now he's pushing for a starting defensive end spot at the University of South Carolina. Coaches say his early enrollment, work in the weight room, and ability to learn the playbook have put him in real contention to line up opposite star pass rusher Dylan Stewart this fall.
