CCSD D7 Policy Revisions Support Tax Increment Financing
What happened
Courtney Waters and GRIFFIN supported revisions to the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) policy within Charleston County School District District 7 on October 16, 2026. The TIF policy directs property-tax revenue generated above an established base toward an approved redevelopment plan. This discussion relates to the Union Pier agreement, which the CCSD Board of Trustees voted 5–4 to participate in on October 28, 2024.

Why it matters
The TIF policy involves a substantial allocation of potential future school-tax revenue. First Tryon Advisors projected approximately $345.5 million in CCSD tax increment under a staff-recommended scenario. GRIFFIN questioned whether the arrangement delivers sufficient value for the school district.
