AT THE END OF 2017, THE ORGANIZATION WAS ABLE TO CONSUMMATE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN ITSELF, NORFOLK-SOUTHERN AND THE CITY OF CHARLESTON FOR THE TRANSFER OF THE PROPERTY TO THE CITY.SINCE THAT TIME, WE HAVE WORKED TOWARD DEVELOPMENT OF A DESIGN AND TOWARD ESTABLISHING THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE CITY, ITS RESIDENTS, DEVELOPERS AND MERCHANTS TO MAKE THE VISION A REALITY.AS LITTLE AS A YEAR AGO, WE ENVISIONED AN 8 TO 12-FOOT WIDE PATH STRETCHING ALONG THE RIGHT OF WAY. TODAY, WE GLIMPSE MUCH MORE: THE PROMISES WE SEE FAR EXCEED OUR EARLIER ASSESSMENTS.THE LOWLINE IS NOT A PATH. IT'S A SYSTEM.IT IS A GREEN NETWORK CONNECTING THE CHARLESTON REGION ENHANCING NEIGHBORHOODS AND RICHLY INCREASING THE VIBRANCY OF THIS GREAT CITY. ITS IMPACTS WILL RUN THE GAMUT: BETTER TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS, FLOOD CONTROL, ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL, COMMUNITY BEAUTIFICATION, NEIGHBORHOOD CONNECTIVITY, RECREATION, ART, MUSIC ANDPERFORMANCE VENUES, AND MORE.IT CAN AND WILL MAKE OUR QUALITY OF LIFE THE CITY'S OVERALL LIVABILITY BETTER FOR EVERYONE. BUT ON AN EVEN HIGHER LEVEL THE LOWLINE WILL HAVE A TRULY CATALYTIC EFFECT: ITS FINAL DESIGN WILL SPRING FROM THE INVOLVEMENT AND EMPOWERMENT OF THE PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS IT TOUCHES, THE VERY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE BIGGEST STAKE IN WHAT THE LOWLINE WILL BE; HOW IT WILL SERVE THEM, THEIR FAMILIES AND THEIR NEIGHBORS. NOT CHARACTERIZED BY A SINGLE DESIGN CONCEPT COVERING ITS ENTIRETY, NORTH TO SOUTH, RATHER, EACH OF THE SIX DISTINCTIVE LOWLINE SECTIONS WILL REFLECT THE UNIQUE CHARACTER OF ITS ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD. COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN THE DESIGN PROCESS WILL ENSURE THAT UNIQUENESS.EVEN AS WE WORK TOWARD FULFILLING THIS VISION, THE FRIENDS OF THE LOWLINE CONTINUE TO PROMOTE AFFORDABLE WORKFORCE HOUSING, AND TOWARD PROTECTING HOMEOWNERS AND RENTERS BY PRESSING TO FIND WAYS THEY CAN REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES AND KEEP THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AS THEIR OWN. 88137 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 SC X THE ORGANIZATION 8434375565 1629 MEETING STREET CHARLESTON SC 29405 X FRANK HAYGOOD CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 SCOTT PARKER VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 RON OWENS TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ANDREW GOWDER SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 TOM BRADFORD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE MESSNER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 WINSLOW HASTIE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 TODD WIGFIELD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 HARRY LESESNE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MIMI VAN WYCK BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BARNEY BLAKNEY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MATTHEW RIVERS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT WATSON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JASON SAKRAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 46503 18221 64724 64724 0 0 0 1770 1770 2949 2949 241 241 1306 1306 9085 9085 7306 7306 DESIGN & PLANNING 46503 46503 PROJECT MANAGER 23696 23696 92856 88137 4719 0 40217 12085 40217 12085 338930 338930 338930 338930 X -298713 -326845 -298713 -326845 40217 12085 -28132 0 X 0 0 0 X 449825 248128 265928 86863 64724 1115468 449825 248128 265928 86863 64724 1115468 574716 540752 1115468 0.48480 0.58810 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 BANK LOAN 338930 338930 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B A DRAFT COPY OF FORM 990 WAS PRESENTED TO THE BOARD PRIOR TO FILING TO OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR QUESTIONS AND SUGGESTED CHANGES.
