Driving into Charleston across the Ravenel Bridge, it's easy to spot the huge piece of property known as Promenade, a nearly 200-acre chunk of waterfront green space located between Morrison Drive and Town Creek. It is by far the largest undeveloped property on the peninsula below Mount Pleasant Street, and starting Monday the public is invited to participate in workshops aimed at helping the Ginn Company decide what should be built there. "They have looked at maybe 60 different scenarios on the site," said Christopher Morgan, director of Charleston's Planning Division. "That's why they want to have the workshop." Promenade is the name given to the site by the Ginn Company, which spent more than $35 million acquiring the properties included in the development, and initially proposed a golf course, hotel and a marina. The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control still calls the properties the Romney Street and Holston landfills. Read more in tomorrow's editions of The Post and Courier. |
