Oakbrook Redevelopment
The Ladson Road Streetscape Project is part of the Oakbrook Redevelopment Plan that outlines a comprehensive, multi-agency plan to revitalize the Oakbrook area. The plan allows for public infrastructure projects that are needed to reduce or eliminate blighted areas.
The goal is to revitalize Oakbrook as an Urban Village/Eco-Tourism Destination by redeveloping under-utilized commercial properties into an active urban neighborhood center.
In order to achieve this goal, the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District was created to:
- Improve the transportation and utilities infrastructure
- Create modern streetscaping
- Make improvements to or construct public buildings and environmental, cultural, recreational and school facilities

Updates
Dorchester County hosted a public meeting at the Dorchester County Council Chambers in Summerville on Monday, August 22nd. The meeting was designed to answer questions and provide information on the streetscape improvements planned for Ladson Road, from the termination of the SCDOT Dorchester Road Safety Improvement project to Coopers Ridge Blvd.
This meeting included a drop-in type format with displays for viewing, and citizens had the opportunity to provide written comments. The design is schematic and input will be evaluated and incorporated into the project where feasible.
This project consists of landscaped median improvements to approximately 2 miles of Ladson Road. The improvements involve constructing dedicated turn lanes at key intersections and the installation of raised landscaped medians with plantings and street lights.
