Park Project Update:

Bids were received and reviewed on June 17, 2010 for Bay Creek Park Rehabilitation which include capping site contamination, constructing the parking area and constructing a seawall.  The contract was awarded to the low bidder (Dock and Marine, Inc.). Notice to Proceed was issued on June 29, 2010 after all documents were signed, notorized and insurance verified. Construction began on June 29, 2010.  Substantial completion was achieved on October 29, 2010.  The punch list has been completed by the contractor.  Mains Market and Landscaping has been hired to install the irrigation system, landscaping and sodding of the park.  This park provides residents and visitors an opportunity to enjoy Big Bay Creek by offering scenic views, picnic areas and a fishing and crabbing dock.  The history of the shrimping industry can be viewed inside the Heritage building and videos are available for purchase.

A loan/grant has been obtained from the Catawba Council of Governments and the SC Department of Health and Environmental Control to provide $100,000 in grant funding to clean up the contamination.  Loan closing was July 6, 2010.  The Town received the first disbursement of $43,503.18 toward the grant.  The Town has received a second disbursement of $124,381 . Sod and landscaping have been completed.  Fence construction will begin March 24, 2011. The Town is waiting for the final paperwork from DHEC to closeout the loan/grant. A ribbon cutting ceremony is planned in June 18, 2011 with fun, festivities and free food (local shrimp, hotdogs)  for all that will showcase Edisto's shrimping heritage.
