Colleton County Transportation Committee Funding for Stormwater Improvements (Design/Engineering Phase)
The Colleton County Transportation Committee (CTC) has awarded the Town of Edisto Beach $225,000 in funding to begin the design and engineering phase of stormwater improvements, which will address recurring flooding within the Town’s interior lagoon drainage system.
The funding will allow the Town to contract with its stormwater engineer to design the project for future construction along the Whaley Street corridor. These improvements are intended to enhance drainage capacity and help reduce flooding impacts to nearby homes, businesses, and public roadways.
While this funding supports the engineering phase of the project, the Town currently has active grant applications as well as pending state and federal earmark requests to help fund the construction phase of the project.
The project reflects Town Council’s continued prioritization of stormwater management and long- term infrastructure improvements for the Edisto Beach community.
The Town also recognizes Edisto Beach resident Mr. Paul Oakley, a member of the Colleton County Transportation Committee (CTC), for his support and assistance during the funding process.
Engineering work is expected to begin soon as the Town moves forward with the next phase of the project.
Shred Day to be Held on April 25
The Town of Edisto Beach will hold its second annual Shred Day on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at 2414 Murray Street, and all residents are welcome to bring their documents on this date for shredding.
Shred-it is the company handling the shredding this year, which utilizes a mobile shredding truck. The company notes that 1 in 20 Americans each year are affected by identity theft with losses over $17 billion.
“Shred Day” was proposed by The Image and Design of Edisto (TIDE) Committee last spring, and that first event was very successful with over 5,270 pounds of paper shredded and recycled last April.
Please note that electronics, batteries, and hazardous materials are not permitted.
Gather up your sensitive documents, and we will see you on April 25!
