Watch Live: Oyster Point Debate

UPDATE: Town Council has voted 8-to-1 to annex, rezone and to approve the conceptual plan for Oyster Point. Thomasena Stokes-Marhsall was the lone opponent of the project.

Oyster Point will appear on the council's September agenda for one more vote before getting final approval.

The original story is as follows:

Mount Pleasant Town Councill will vote tonight on a contentious residential development that will bring 593 homes to a 200-acre lot at the intersection of Six Mile and Palmetto Fort road.

Mount Pleasant Patch will stream the meeting live.

Some neighbors oppose the Oyster Point development because it could bring a potential crush of vehicles to already congested Rifle Range Road. The developer has promised upgrades to an intersection to offset the project's impacts.
