Historic Preservation vs New Development

The 5.3-acre redevelopment project at 500 North Main Street in Summerville is stalled due to a conflict between the Board of Architectural Review (BAR) and the developers.

Developers presented three main design options with sub-options on January 30th, but none were approved by the BAR due to concerns about the historic hospital. The BAR is asking for documentation about other options considered and wants to see more effort put into saving the wings of the hospital from demolition. Options presented that were denied were:

Possible Solutions Include:

The project has been ongoing for years without approval, and the deadline for the BAR to approve plans has been extended to June 30th

As always, thank you for reading. It amazes me every week how many of you read this little thing I’ve put together. I love this city and the Lowcountry, and while it’s growing at a rapid rate, it’s hard to keep up with what’s going on, so I really hope I’m helping you keep up, I know I’m having a hard time keeping up some days. I told you I would promise to keep bringing you information and I have an announcement to make. I’ve decided to start a podcast all about Charleston. But instead of me just rambling on and on, each week I will invite a city leader, person of influence, and more to discuss what they’re doing and how they are thoughtfully moving our city forward while preserving the past. BUT I need your input. Who should I reach out to? Think elected officials, leaders of non-profit organizations, CEOs, Developers, and news/media personalities. The possibilities are endless, but I want to know who YOU want to hear from. Just reply to this email and give me a name. I really appreciate it and I’ll see you over on Instagram and again right here next week
