Town administrator: Seabrook Island Road project inches toward shovel‑ready status
Summary
Town Administrator Joe told council the Seabrook Island Road project received key approvals — critical zone compliance and an archaeological monitoring plan — and an Army Corps concurrence letter, making the project two steps closer to being shovel‑ready while updated cost estimates are requested.
Town Administrator Joe told council staff had secured critical zone compliance and state approval of an archaeological monitoring plan for the Seabrook Island Road project, and that the Army Corps of Engineers had provided a concurrence letter. He described these as two significant steps that bring the project closer to being shovel‑ready and said staff requested updated cost estimates from the engineering consultant to inform next steps and budget planning.
Joe said the project’s fate may depend in part on the outcome of the county transportation sales tax referendum and whether the county chooses to take on the project. “We’re probably about this close at this point to being shovel ready,” he said, and staff will await updated estimates and the referendum outcome before finalizing financing and procurement steps.
