That whole area in the Summerville, Moncks Corner, Goose Creek triangle is being prepped for growth. Have they widened hwy 52 out to Cane Bay yet? They should be finished widening 17a out to Moncks Corner. I know there are plans for a hospital and they finished those two new schools in Cane Bay. They also have a school planned for the Nexton Project. Also the Daniel Island company is building a development near there as well. That area and the area near Palmetto Commerce Park (especially after they build that overpass over Ashley Phosphate Rd connecting it to the airport) are two areas to watch. Section 2 on this map is Palmetto Commerce Park: http://www.charlestonindustrial.com/Home.aspx

I was just reading an article saying they had exceeded their hiring guarantees by a large margin already. There has been buzz that they might expand.

So they finally opened the new Citadel Mall IMAX theatre in West Ashley and it is very nice. http://southeastcinemas.com/charleston-imax.htm

What a catch! A Boeing assembly plant? Are you kidding!?.. lol was not expecting this any time soon when they said they wanted to get an aerospace cluster going.

The idea was neat but they did become a huge nuisance. Some kind of rule was passed where they can only sell them in certain areas or have to have some kind of permit. I don't remember the specifics. But they had become way too aggressive and would swarm people trying to make a sale. But I don't want them gone, not at all.

Enjoyed all the photos. Thanks for sharing all of those.

Great shots, thanks for sharing these.

Actually Noisette and Magnolia both are coming along good. The Magnolia project has seen tons of old warehouses being torn out and leveled, the road network is being prepped still. Noisette has quite a few companies filling in the old warehouses on the old Navy Yard along with tearing down surrounding dilapidated buildings. One thing to note about those two projects is they were aiming for the long haul. Both of them were projecting developments out to 2012 and beyond. They were both basically old brownfield type areas with huge abandonment issues.

Oh I agree, though this is very preliminary planning. It's wide open on what they are going to be putting in there. I was just glad to hear it isn't going to be more cookie cutter neighborhoods.

The College of Charleston is trying to attract more in-state students it has a high ratio of out-of-state students to in-state and they would like to change that.

North Charleston has been shopping around for this piece of land for quite a while now. I don't trust N. Charleston when it comes to urban development but I really like this plan. Ingleside Plantation Development ""Plans include more than 3.6 million square feet of office, retail and residential space, some of which will be built as a new city center with higher density than downtown Charleston, officials said. Developers said they are looking past the troubled economy and positioning themselves for better times. In fact, the plans are so forward-looking, they include a hub for rail transit

Ouch, I was just reading over documents on building requirements here in Summerville and it's ridiculous all the requirements to get your building permitted. It's so many dang rules that prevent any kind of creative use of the lots, so frustrating. The rules require suburban type development.

Yeah I keep an account with both Navy FCU and BoA.

North Charleston is getting an hhgregg. Isn't that basically the same as a Best Buy? It's right around the corner from one is why I ask.

So only two cities in South Carolina even appeared on any of the lists in CNNMoney's Best Places to Live 2008. Summerville and Goose Creek Number 18 and 19 on the air quality list. lol
