Dear Mount Pleasant residents and business owners,
Your local government has been busy this past month with capital projects, special events, outreach opportunities, and a little bit of traffic thanks to the Wando River Bridge closure. We appreciate your patience as the SC Department of Transportation works to repair the bridge. Until that time, we invite you to join us and "Negate the Wait" by shopping, dinning, and enjoying Mount Pleasant. See below for more details.
There are several other upcoming meetings and events scheduled for the next month, so I invite you to sign up to our Notify Me module and stay updated on the latest Town news, projects, and events. For more information about all that is happening in the Town of Mount Pleasant, please visit us online, engage with us on Nextdoor, like us on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter.
Best Regards,
Our Mission Statement
"To deliver superior performance in a manner that is distinctive and impactful to each person served and that establishes a standard for quality that endures for generations."

Town Hall Track Temporary Closure
|
|
The Town Hall track and a portion of the adjoining parking lot area are slated to be closed from June 1 through July 4, 2018, as Charles Blanchard Construction Corporation works to construct several sections of the new Town Hall Gym.
Expected to open by the end of the year, the new Town Hall Gym will bring new courts for basketball, volleyball, and pickleball. The gym will also feature restrooms that will be accessible from both the exterior and interior of the building, providing much-needed facilities for those using the track as well as the gym.

Street Sign Replacement Program
|
To meet Federal Highway Administration requirements, the Mount Pleasant Transportation and Public Services departments have partnered in a joint street sign replacement program. The capital improvement project will replace about 7,500 signs over the next five years. The Street Sign Replacement Program will include all street signs within the Town, with the exclusion of private roads and sideways. Existing signs will be removed if they are considered redundant or do not meet standards. Additional signs may be added where deemed applicable.

Why sit in traffic when you can Negate the Wait! Mount Pleasant Mayor Will Haynie called on the Business and Tourism Office staff to create a campaign to help Mount Pleasant businesses weather the impact of the Wando River Bridge closure on their operations. The "Negate the Wait" campaign offers alternatives to waiting in traffic for residents and visitors alike. Check out daily content on all our social media channels and on the Experience Mount Pleasant website.

Summer Pond Maintenance Tips
|
|
|
Summer is here which means there is a higher risk for fish kills and algae in our ponds. It is only when rain water picks up nutrients from roads and lawns that it builds-up enough nutrients to grow large blooms or mats of algae; therefore, stormwater ponds develop algae growth mainly in response to the fertilizers and wastes from lawns and paved surfaces.
How do we prevent this? Pond maintenance and individual practices can help! A bubbler in a pond can prevent stagnant water from getting smelly and causing a lack of oxygen. Properly applying fertilizers and pesticides can lower the amount of nutrients in the pond. We can all do our part to prevent ponds from becoming polluted.
SAVE THE DATE for November 11th stormwater pond conference hosted by the Clemson extension.

HERE for more information about stormwater ponds.
