Can North Charleston’s blighted Rivers corridor be revitalized? $125K study will find out.
For years, plans, proposals and promises to revitalize a blighted corridor in North Charleston’s south end have not materialized, leaving the site void of a grocery store or any substantial economic development.
Spotted with a few fast-food restaurants, pawnshops and car lots, the city’s south end offers limited work and shopping options. Its lack of grocery stores has remained an important issue for residents.
For groceries, Tonie Cattles’ 68-year-old father walks from his Rivers Avenue neighborhood across the train tracks to one of the community’s only nearby options, the Save-A-Lot.
