Who we are
Since 2014, The Friends of the Lowline have led the effort to create a green space that highlights the surrounding neighborhoods, addresses city-wide flooding, and gives pedestrians and bicyclists a safe, dedicated path. Now, with the City of Charleston’s support, the Lowline is becoming a reality.
Our Mission
To support the creation and long-term sustainability of the Lowline.
Our Vision
We envision a public space that transforms how Charleston moves, gathers, and grows.
