At its meeting on Wednesday, May 13, 2009, Charleston's Board of Architectural Review gave final approval to First (Scots)'s building plans.
At its meeting on Wednesday, February 25, the Board of Architectural Review, which has authority over changes to existing buildings in the historic district of Charleston, and of construction of new ones, gave preliminary approval for the plans for our building project, including its scope, size, placement, and major architectural features. This approval is a huge hurdle for the project, one long in coming. All that now remains is BAR's approval for relatively minor external features. It means that we are on track for construction to begin in June. Congratulations and thanks to Trey McCraw and the rest of the ACORN Committee for all the work it took to reach this point.
