VIDEO: Moncks Corner leaders say a lack of space in key government buildings has reached a breaking point, and now the town is moving forward with a $1 million plan to expand and modernize its facilities.
Mayor Thomas Hamilton says the town plans to expand the existing town hall into a dedicated municipal court and police home station. Fire Station One will also see modernization upgrades aimed at improving safety and efficiency.
โWeโre gonna do an expansion of the current town hall, and then the Fire Station One, weโre going to modernize,โ Hamilton said.
The investment will create more room for the police department, provide updated sleeping quarters at the fire station, and add a dedicated training facility for first responders.
Fire Chief James Jackson says the lack of space affects the departmentโs ability to store essential equipment, including water rescue tools, ladder trucks and other apparatus.
