City Council approves IAAM construction contracts
Charleston City Council has approved the construction contracts for the International African American Museum, clearing the way for the museum to break ground on the former site of Gadsden’s Wharf.
The $60.2 million contracts passed unanimously, though Mayor John Tecklenburg recused himself because he serves on the museum’s board.
President and CEO Michael Boulware Moore said the contracts are only for the shell of the museum; contracts for interior construction and curation will be presented to City Council later.
