Charleston's Flood Fix Gets Boost | Charleston News

Charleston’s Central Park Drainage Basin is getting a $5 million upgrade to fight flooding—thanks to a $1.5 million grant—featuring bigger pipes, channel stabilization, and a new tide gate designed to slash flood depth, duration, and frequency in neighborhoods like Laurel Park and Marlborough. With recent storms and development worsening the problem, city officials say this project won’t stop all flooding—but will dramatically reduce damage during big events. A public meeting on Sept 3 at 6 PM at the Lowcountry Senior Center will reveal detailed plans and timelines.
