After Charleston County voters approved the half cent transportation sales tax, Mount Pleasant officials say Johnnie Dodds Boulevard is the town's top priority. The county program is expected to generate about 4.25 billion dollars, and the town says work on the corridor could begin by fall 2027 if the funding is bonded.
Why this matters here
Johnnie Dodds carries more than 80,000 cars a day past hundreds of storefronts, so years of lane closures and detours would hit those businesses hardest. The planning phase is only now being scheduled, which makes this the cheapest moment for owners to weigh in on access, parking and construction staging.
