Authority Moves to Complete Old Fort Drive

The Dorchester County Sales Tax Transportation Authority unanimously approved to seek an appraisal of a tract of land for Phase II of Old Fort Drive, a 1.2-mile stretch of road identified by the authority as one of the 22 needed projects in the county.

The project is near Oakbrook Middle School.

Phase I is completed. Phase II connects the road to Ladson Road through acquisition of right-of-way.

The authority met in executive session Monday at county chambers in Summerville to discuss the "purchase of real property in association with the Old Fort Phase II project." After the session, the authority members voted unanimously to initiate an appraisal and purchase discussions.
