Cheraw council accepts donated parcel to secure easements for $12 million stormwater grant
Summary
The council voted to accept a donated parcel near Hill and Park streets so the town can secure easements needed for a $12 million Community Development Block Grant mitigation project awarded by the South Carolina Office of Resilience; council approved the measure by voice vote.
Cheraw’s Town Council voted to accept a donated parcel near Hill and Park streets so the town can secure easements needed to advance a $12 million stormwater mitigation project funded through the South Carolina Office of Resilience.
Town staff told the council the town must obtain several easements to run replacement stormwater lines for the CDBG mitigation project. An individual who had not realized he still owned the small parcel agreed to donate it, staff said, and council was asked to accept the donation so the easements could be secured and the parcel later conveyed to the adjacent property owner if appropriate.
The resolution was presented as part of a larger two‑project award the town received to address stormwater needs. Council debated the resolution briefly and approved it by voice vote.
Town staff did not read a resolution number consistently in the meeting record; the transcript references a resolution to accept the donation and indicates the motion passed by a voice vote. Staff said the donation is needed to secure the easement work that will allow the larger stormwater projects to proceed.
Council members and staff said additional steps — including securing easements and completing design — remain before construction begins. The town did not provide a construction schedule in the meeting discussion.
