Summary
A pre-construction meeting for James Island's new art and community center drew more than 40 attendees and up to 15 prospective bidders; questions are due by the end of next week and bids are due July 10. The council also promoted upcoming community events including a flagpole dedication and a hurricane-preparedness expo.
Town staff reported that a pre-construction meeting for the new James Island art and community center was well attended, with more than 40 people and roughly a dozen to 15 companies expressing interest in bidding.
Staff said requests for information about the project are due by the end of next week and that sealed bids will be accepted through July 10. No contract award or selection was discussed at the meeting; council members said they were pleased with the level of interest and the expected schedule.
Council members also highlighted several upcoming community events: a flagpole dedication on Folly Road with a ceremony scheduled for Thursday at 11:00 a.m., a Hurricane Awareness Expo at Lowe's on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the town market (reported to have drawn roughly 500 people during its recent occurrence).
