This may potentially bring more traffic to Hwy 41, but I think most residents will be pleased (especially those in Rivertowne and Planters Pointe). As of now the closest grocery store is in the new Super Walmart that just opened on Hwy 17 and there's a Publix in Park West. This may be more convenient for those residents.

The plan that was originally proposed by the developer of this land was for the construction of 197 town homes. Personally, I think the commercial plan is MUCH better. The Mt Pleasant area already has a large amount of available inventory of condos and town homes, so that's the last thing that we needed.

This plan goes to the Planning Committee and Mt Pleasant Town Council in November. If fully approved, the project will create over 100 full-time and over 200 part-time jobs.
