Rep. Nancy Mace Helps Secure $1.2 Million Federal Grant To Improve Infrastructure In Moncks Corner

Charleston, S.C., October 27, 2025 - Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) announced the town of Moncks Corner has been awarded a $1.2 million federal grant through the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), funded by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) allocated through the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT).

Mace's office worked with SCDOT and the town of Moncks Corner, including submitting a congressional letter of support. The funding will advance a key infrastructure project designed to improve pedestrian safety, connectivity and access throughout Moncks Corner.

The project will establish a safe mobility corridor linking several neighborhoods to major destinations, including Old Santee Canal Park, Moncks Corner Elementary School, Roper Hospital and local businesses, ensuring residents, students, and visitors can travel more safely and efficiently. This grant not only strengthens local infrastructure but also supports the Lowcountry economy.

"When Moncks Corner needed help making its streets safer, we delivered," said Congresswoman Mace."South Carolina is the fourth fastest-growing state in America, and investing in infrastructure isn't optional-it's essential. This $1.2 million grant is part of more than $400 million in federal infrastructure funding we've secured for the Lowcountry over the past two years-a major win for South Carolinians."

Moncks Corner Mayor Thomas J. Hamilton Jr. praised Congresswoman Mace's support in the statement below:

"We're incredibly grateful for the support of Congresswoman Mace for investing in Moncks Corner's future. This grant helps us take a meaningful step toward improving pedestrian safety and connectivity for our residents-especially our students, families and seniors. It's projects like this that enhance the quality of life in our community, and we're excited to see it move forward."

The Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) provides federal funding for local projects which improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians and bicyclists. It supports efforts such as building sidewalks, bike paths and trails, improving access to public transportation, enhancing mobility and creating safer routes for students traveling to and from school.
