MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCSC) — Mount Pleasant is getting close to breaking ground on a $37 million project after town leadership met Tuesday to review the plans for Gary Santos Park on Rifle Range Road.

The new Gary Santos Park will feature three and a half outdoor rectangular sports fields, an indoor gymnasium, a playground area and additional amenities. The project also includes running paths and a scenic boardwalk overlooking the existing wetlands. Some tree removal will be necessary to accommodate the development.

“The total amount of inches per caliber on the trees is going to be more than four times what the requirement is. We are developing a small part of a 100-acre park for active recreation and then having passive trails throughout and really preserving the nature that’s there,” said Jake Rambo, a Mount Pleasant council member.

A significant portion of the council’s discussion focused on comparing natural versus synthetic surface options. Town leaders are weighing whether the outdoor courts should utilize natural grass or artificial turf.

“Variance between the injuries, unnatural grass and injuries on artificial turf are virtually the same. Actually, there are some studies that show more injuries on regular grass than artificial turf,” said TJ Rostin, recreation director for Mount Pleasant.

However, Mount Pleasant Mayor Will Haynie raised concerns about the potential health effects artificial turf could have on young children’s development.

“There is not enough data and research to correlate any type of health concerns or environmental concerns with artificial turf,” Rostin said.

Haynie emphasized that the community needs more opportunities for public feedback on this decision. According to Rostin, artificial turf provides durability benefits for fields in constant use.

“We have about a 65-team tournament coming into town this weekend and we have potential wintry weather, this that and the other, well any of that moisture dissipates on an artificial turf within minutes so we’re able to play,” Rostin said.

Rostin said events like these tournaments generate additional economic benefits through hotel stays and spending at local dining and entertainment venues.

Last month, the council voted to name the park for Gary Santos, a longtime council member whose advocacy was instrumental in advancing recreation throughout the town.

“Gary Santos has been in this community his whole life. He served on council for almost 30 years. In addition to that, he was a prominent coach within the community. He coached thousands of kids throughout his career, including myself, so I had the pleasure of being a player under him as a child and then serving with him on council and he was my mentor, and he is just the most amazing person,” said Jake Rambo.

Rostin anticipates groundbreaking will occur within the next 30 to 60 days, with an expected completion timeline of 18 months following the start of construction.

MOUNT PLEASANT — A familiar drive-thru has quietly closed its long-standing location, leaving some customers asking: “Where’s the beef?”

Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers in the Harris Teeter-anchored Sea Island Shopping Center in Mount Pleasant is now shuttered, ending a 40-year run.

The fast-food restaurant has occupied a outbuilding since 1986 near the corner of Ben Sawyer and Chuck Dawley boulevards.

“Sorry we are closed,” according to a notice posted in the pick-up window and side entrance.

At opening, the 2,500-square foot restaurant was the 13th Charleston-area location of the chain, according to a local news report.

The Chuck Dawley location has been removed from the corporate headquarters’ website. The company did not own the building, according to public real estate records.

Batson Hewitt, owner of the Sea Island Shopping Center, said discussions have already taken place with an unnamed tenant about what will replace the long-standing restaurant.

“I have been working with the current franchise owner and a new tenant to take over the space that will complement the other tenants in the Sea Island Shopping Center and provide a needed service to the surrounding Mount Pleasant community,” Hewitt said.

The closing leaves two Wendy’s in the East Cooper market — at 596 Long Point Road and 361 Johnnie Dodds Blvd. Others are still operating elsewhere in the region in Charleston, Goose Creek, Moncks Corner, North Charleston, Summerville and St. George.

A long-shuttered Wendy’s near the Medical University of South Carolina on the peninsula at 194 Cannon St. has been proposed as a hotel site for about a decade.

Dave Thomas opened the first Wendy’s restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, with a focus on hamburgers and its signature “frosty” drinks. He introduced the first modern-day drive-thru window in 1970. By 1985, the chain had opened its 3,000th location.

In 1979, Wendy’s added the salad bar to its menu, but were phased out in 2006.

In 2008, Wendy’s consolidated with Arby’s Restaurant Group Inc. and was based in Atlanta. Three years later, the chains decided to go their separate ways. Wendy’s moving its headquarters back to Ohio.

Last November, Ken Cook, the company's interim CEO, said hundreds of locations would be closing in an effort to trim costs and boost profits.

Wendy’s continues to operate more than 7,000 restaurants worldwide.

Requests for comment from the chain’s headquarters about the closure were not immediately returned.

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCSC) — The town of Mount Pleasant Health, Recreation, & Events Committee met to discuss plans for what could be a new food forest and community garden in the area.

This Food Forest and Community Garden initiative would be located at the R.L. Jones Center in Mount Pleasant.

The difference from a food forest compared to a normal garden is the fact that the forest is perennial, creating a long-lasting garden and green space.

“You don’t necessarily have to replant every year. You plant a blueberry bush, you get blueberries for as long as the bush lives,” Chairman of the Mount Pleasant Green Commission and Member of the Mount Pleasant Tree Task Force David Quick said.

The food forest would also support wildlife and pollinators, creating a sustainable ecosystem in the community.

“It’s time to reconnect with nature. A lot of times, you don’t see that hawk, or you don’t see that hummingbird or you don’t see that butterfly unless you’re out in the garden planting with your neighbors.” Quick said.

Building more community space in the area will hope to provide a hands-on learning experience for all ages.

“You don’t want it to be a one-time thing. You want it to be a continual thing. You want to be able to get together and weed the garden. You want to be able to get together and harvest the fruit.” Quick said.

The free fresh produce the garden can provide will also be able to help those in need of food assistance and hopefully local food banks too.

“What we’re doing is helping folks who really need help. We have one of the best farmers’ markets in the state of South Carolina,” Town of Mount Pleasant Recreation Director TJ Rostin said. “So, why not create our own little farm that may be able to just show how much we love green space and doing naturalistic things here in the town.”

This would also serve as a peaceful wellness space for residents to connect with.

“If you think about it, if you’re out in nature, you are recreating. It’s your leisure time,” Rostin explained. “It’s what you’re doing and we want folks to even if you’re not involved with the community garden, come out and look at it. Read a book on the bench. Just take it in.”

Officials hope to create an inclusive space, connecting neighbors and nature in the community.

“We are a town that embraces our green space, and we think that this is something that is just going to further enhance that idea,” Rostin said.

This Food Forest and Community Garden is still in the design and planning stages, but officials are optimistic about this initiative.
