Excitement buzzed through the James Island Town Council meeting as members prepared for the addition of two new council members, with the filing period for candidates closing soon. The council is eager to welcome fresh faces, enhancing their efforts in local governance.

In a significant move, the council entered an executive session to discuss contract negotiations for the highly anticipated art and community center. This project has been a long time coming, and the council is keen to see it through. After deliberations, they unanimously approved a motion to authorize the mayor to finalize the contract with Ferrara Buist Contractors for the design and construction of the center.

Council members expressed their enthusiasm for the project, highlighting its importance to the community. The art and community center is expected to serve as a hub for local events and activities, fostering a sense of community and cultural engagement.

As the council looks forward to the new leadership and the progression of the art center, residents can anticipate positive developments in James Island's community landscape.
