Alljoy Neighborhood Community Updates

Hello Alljoy Community. While this is not a project update, I know that ensuring equal access to the boat landing is important to the community. Public Works is aware of the boat that has been moored at the Alljoy boat landing for multiple days. We are in the process of using the enforcement options available under the boat landing ordinance. Our goal is to work cooperatively with the boat’s owner to have the vessel removed as soon as possible.

Alljoy Drainage Study Update: The contract approved by the Public Facilities Committee is being reviewed by the South Carolina Rural Infrastructure Authority (RIA). The grant funding for the project is through RIA, so it is required that they review and approve the contract before we can officially award it to the selected contractor, SeamonWhiteside.

Hello Alljoy Community,

The state approved our Engineering Department's plan for the sidewalk, so that project has now gone out to bid, with bids closing on June 6th.

We've scheduled an in-person community update meeting at the Bluffton Branch library's large meeting room on Thursday, June 5th from 5:30 to 6:30 PM. The meeting will cover updates previously shared on this page, to ensure everyone has the most up-to-date information.

Good afternoon Alljoy Community! Here is a quarterly update on the projects that are happening in your community.

2 Mullet St. Demolition - Allocating grant dollars to fund the demolition, thereby saving taxpayer dollars. Work continues on awarding the contract for the demolition.

Sidewalk Project – Pending final approval from SCDOT to proceed with construction bidding. We anticipate approval this summer.

Bailey Memorial Park – Continues to be in the permitting phase, with state approval expected within 6-9 months.

Boat Landing Improvements – Continuing the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process to hire a design and construction management contractor for the project. Once the county has preliminary designs, they will be shared at a community meeting to obtain feedback.

Drainage Study – On 3/17/25 the Public Facilities Committee approved the contract to Seamon Whiteside for the Alljoy Drainage Study Project.

BJWSA Sewer Project - Continues to be in the funding phase of the project.

I will post again as soon as we have additional updates for you.

Thank you,

Matt Krause

Alljoy Community,

We have two important meetings coming up this month for Alljoy projects:

Once the project is approved, the county can hire a firm to create designs and concepts that will be discussed with the Alljoy community in future community meetings.
