After debate on Charleston City Council began to stir over the next steps for a proposed 8-mile sea wall around the peninsula, city officials presented a timeline for the project, as well as opportunities for negotiation.
Dale Morris, the city’s Chief Resiliency Officer, told members of a newly formed citizen commission July 27 that the city should be finalizing a design agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the federal partner on the project, in the next few months.
The agreement will dictate some broad priorities for the project, as well as the roles the two government agencies will play in the design process.
