Dear Mount Pleasant residents and business owners,
Summer is officially here and with it comes some of our favorite past times and events. I encourage you to save the date for the 15th Annual Sweetgrass Festival, which will be held later this summer at our Memorial Waterfront Park. Until that time, you can enjoy Shaggin' on the Cooper, Party in the Park, the weekly Farmers Market and more.
The start of summer also marks the beginning of hurricane season and while it isn't a pleasant topic, it is always best to be prepared with a plan for you and your family. Keep reading below for more resources and stay tuned for more tips and info from our Emergency Management Office throughout the season.
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."

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.
