The Chairman provided background on the project, stressing that it was happening, as the funding is already in place. He discussed how Lowcountry Rapid Transit would work, the convenience it would provide Charleston County residents, how it may expand after the initial line opens in 2030 and how citizens can provide impact and learn more about the project.
