"When Waterfront Park rose along the banks of the Charleston harbor nearly three decades ago," Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg said. " It was an extraordinary gift not just to our visitors, but to our citizens as well–a truly remarkable public space to visit, to enjoy, to share with family and friends. Now, with Lowe's planned expansion moving forward, Charlestonians will be able to access and experience even more of this priceless public treasure in the years ahead."
