ZUMAN2 Posted January 19 Author Report Share Posted January 19 I went back again yesterday and watched the 12/12/22 YouTube video of the Union Pier information meeting. I didn't know that Lowe Real Estate had hired Jacob Lindsey to be the point man of the project. Lindsey had previously served as the City of Charleston's planning director; left the city about 3 years ago to take a planning position with Boulder, CO; and now back in Charleston. This is a major coup for Lowe as Lindsey knows how to navigate through the review and approval process. This is a very exciting project, a game changer for the Charleston's eastern peninsula. But as it's noted in this informational meeting. it's going to be very expensive to convert the tract from ports use to private/public use. The next project update from Lowe will be this spring.
