Mayor Summey begins demolition of Shipwatch Square

North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey operated a backhoe to begin the demolition of Shipwatch Square located at the corner of Rivers and McMillan Avenues on Tuesday, September 13, 2011.

After sitting idle for many years, Shipwatch Square was purchased by the City of North Charleston as a portion of the revitalization efforts for the southern end of the City.  The demolition is part of the first steps in the City’s Master Plan for Shipwatch Square, which encompasses a grocery store, bank, drug store, small retail establishments, and office space.

Demolition is scheduled to be completed by late 2011.
