Final Vote for the New James Island Library Site on Tuesday June 16

5/30/2015

 On Tuesday, June 16, 2015 the Charleston County Council will have a final vote for the location of the new library on James Island. At the Finance Committee meeting on May 28th,  County Council selected the property on Grimball Road, the former Baxter Patrick school site, which was determined to be the most economical and convenient location after considering all the available options.

There is a small vocal group demanding a much more expensive location at a Bi-Lo Location, that was not chosen as the top site by the Library Board OR the Finance Committee. Public comments have been overwhelmingly favorable for the Baxter Patrick school site and it will cost significantly less then the other presented options. This small vocal group is making a desperate last-ditch effort to sway the County Council with a push to get people to reject our best option, the Baxter Patrick school site. We can not let them be the only ones speaking out. If you have not yet already please make your voice heard in support of the Baxter Patrick school site.

Let your voice be heard now, before Tuesday, June 16.
 
Call, write, and email the other County Council members and ask them to vote for the Bi-Lo site for the new library for James Island.
 
SAMPLE LETTER
 
 
Dear Council Member,
I urge you to vote for the Finance Committee's recommendation for the new library on James Island to be the Baxter Patrick school site.

The Baxter Patrick school site best meets the needs of all James Islanders for the best use of funds. As it is located near a school and the property is readily available the Baxter Patrick school site is absolutely the best choice.

Thank you, for listening to the community.
