Petition: Stop Mayor Tecklenberg from Annexing More John’s Island Land Through Taking Possession of a Local Community Park & Historic Preservation Project
When you ask the Mayor for a letter of support and instead he takes the plan for the city.
For the past 5.5 years, a John’s Island community led initiative has been working to secure 26+ acres in the center of Maybank Hwy.
This effort is in cooperation with many local groups, but the preservation of farmland extends past just this 26 acres into John’s Island’s local farms, protecting an additional 200 acres.
-
- Joseph Fields of Fields Farm
- Sidi Limehouse of Rosebank Farms
- Vernon Smith of Vernon Smith Farms
- Kenneth Milton of Lowland Farms
This multicultural multigenerational collaboration is to ensure the true heart and soul of John’s Island is represented by and for its citizens in the corridor which has been rapidly developing in the hands of the City of Charleston. In the last 10 years the City has put 80% of it’s new housing on John’s Island. AND NOW Mayor Tecklenberg himself is unwelcomely taking over this project when the community reached out for a letter of support.
