This meeting will feature a presentation by Mayor Cogswell and the Edens Redevelopment Team (www.edens.com), who will outline a proposal for the Sumar Street site. This proposal has been developed based on extensive feedback from residents over the past few years, and we are eager to share our plans with you and hear your thoughts.

Your input is invaluable to us as we work to ensure that the development aligns with the needs and desires of our community. We encourage all residents to attend, as your feedback will help shape the future of this important site.

Please note that children are welcome to attend, and refreshments will be available throughout the event. We look forward to seeing you there and engaging in a meaningful discussion about the future of the Sumar Street property.

Charleston Police Department Launches Online Reporting Website

The Charleston Police Department has launched a new online reporting website, offering an additional way for the public to report incidents. This secure portal allows you to submit information, photos, videos, and evidence anytime, without needing an officer response. It’s convenient, mobile-friendly, and complements traditional reporting methods.

Submit reports for incidents like electronic harassment, identity theft, shoplifting, and more. Remember, for in-progress incidents or those involving weapons, call 911.

Spring Party Notes

A special thanks to Aimee Sutton for representing Parkshore III with planning / volunteering / organizing the event! It was great to see everyone who came out to the combined neighborhood party at the Elks. We had a good turn out and everyone had a lot of fun. The Greek food, Smashburgers and sweet treats all got rave reviews and the kids enjoyed playing on the swing set as well as the yard games (Badminton, corn hole). It was great to meet some of our neighbors from nearby neighborhoods and connect with old friends here in Parkshore III. Hopefully we can make this an annual get together.

Combined Neighborhood Spring Party – May 11

Heads up neighbors! This year we are trying something a bit different for our spring get together. We have been invited to a combined party at the Elks Lodge (1113 Sam Rittenberg Blvd, Charleston, SC 29407) with other nearby neighborhoods – Wespanee Plantation and Sandhurst.

Where: Elks Lodge
When: May 11th, 4-7pm

There will be yard games, non-alcoholic beverages (water, tea, lemonade) and fellowship for free. There will also be food trucks and alcoholic beverages for those interested.

There will be no admission fees, but residents will be responsible for purchasing any food / drinks besides water, tea and lemonade.

Business Sponsorships Available: If you are interested in having signage and / or a table, sponsorships are available for $50 and $100. We could hang signage and they could have a table if interested. We are asking for business sponsorships only (no political candidates).

If anyone has any yard games they are interested in letting us borrow that would also be helpful! Please contact Aimee Sutton if you are interested in a sponsorship or if you have yard games you would like to lend for the event.
