CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - A new affordable housing development is set to be built right in the heart of downtown Charleston.
The city of Charleston bought property at the end of F Street two years ago with a goal to build affordable housing near the future Lowcountry lowline.
On Tuesday, city council approved a 60-year ground lease agreement with a developer to build 55 apartments on the site. The vacant land that will be used sits right behind an affordable housing complex on King Street that is owned by the Charleston Housing Authority.
