Chapman said opponents floated taking more Phillips property or widening roads instead of routing the parkway through Laurel Hill County Park.
- On July 21, Mayor Pro Tem Howard Chapman told the Charleston County Council that Highway 41 "Road to Compromise" opponents proposed taking additional property from neighbors in Park West and Dunes West to spare Laurel Hill County Park.
- Mount Pleasant Town Council voted 5-4 on July 14 to approve the "Road to Compromise" plan after four hours of public comment on the Highway 41 project drew significant resident concern.
- Chapman alleged a council member suggested the town "take a little more property" from the Phillips community, though records show the exchange involved questioning an engineer about existing right-of-way requirements rather than an official proposal.
- Speakers at the July 14 meeting requested that the council withhold consent to allow for plan reconsideration rather than shifting the project's burden onto other neighboring communities.
- The public deserves an accurate account of what was actually said by those who spoke during the town's highway deliberations, ensuring the negotiation process remains transparent regarding impacts on local neighborhoods.
