The Laurel Island development team has engaged in extensive public outreach. When the project was called Lorelei, a robust public engagement process was conducted that included public gatherings within the community as well as a week-long charrette at the Gaillard Auditorium. There have been multiple government meetings and hearings by the City of Charleston, Charleston County and Charleston County School District where the project plans and infrastructure funding has been discussed and voted upon. Community members, City Council representatives, special interest groups and advocacy organizations worked with the development team to complete the project’s extensive public engagement process.
