Stratton Capers 2 Community Project 

Welcome to the exciting development plans for the neighborhood of Stratton Capers! The county is currently preparing to apply for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) that will provide funding for two impactful construction phases. The primary focus of this grant is to address improvements that contribute to the overall well-being of Stratton Capers 2.

The project will consist of two phases as seen in the exhibit below. During the first phase, the proposed funding will invest in the community’s water infrastructure through installation of 4,694 linear feet of a new 8” PVC waterline along with an increased number of new fire hydrants throughout the neighborhood.

To comply with the funding requirements for the CDBG funding, the County conducted an income survey of all the occupants in the Stratton Capers 2 Neighborhood who will directly benefit from the proposed project. County staff distributed information, asked questions, and compiled input. 

The County also held a public hearing at the Dorchester County Council Meeting on April 15, 2024 at 6:00pm regarding the application submitted to the South Carolina Department of Commerce, Grants Administration for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). Please click to view the Notice of CDBG Application Public Hearing.

In July of 2024, the County was awarded $1,000,000 in grant funding to implement Phase 1 of the water line replacement project. These grant funds will be supplemented with local funds from the County. 

Thank you for your continued support as we move this project forward and stay tuned for more updates and opportunities to contribute to the exciting future of Stratton Capers!
