The City Manager’s report highlighted some items of interest to the citizens of Walterboro. Firstly, City Council approved to begin the engineering and design of the Ireland Creek Greenway and stream restoration project. This was a capital project sales tax item that was approved in 2022. The survey work has been completed and now the project can move forward.
