Folly Beach cut the ribbon on its Center Street Stormwater Infrastructure Improvements Project on Oct. 1, officially reopening Center Street. Construction began in February 2026 and ran more than five months, adding stormwater capacity, green infrastructure, streetscape work and restored parallel parking on side streets.

Why this matters here

Center Street is the commercial spine of Folly Beach, and its merchants absorbed months of construction. The street is open again with parking restored on adjacent side streets, which is the moment to push a welcome back campaign before the shoulder season ends.
