What happened
Mount Pleasant approved a $28.5 million settlement agreement to preserve more than 129 acres along the Wando River for a public park.

Why it matters
The settlement resolved a dispute that previously threatened to allow over 1,600 homes on the land if sewer installation proceeded. Councilman Daniel Brownstein argued that large-scale development would increase traffic along Highway 41.
