Board delays auction plans for Sullivans Island land
COLUMBIA, S.C. - A planned auction of land on Sullivans Island pushed by Gov. Mark Sanford is on hold for a month.
The Budget and Control Board on Tuesday said it would delay action on the property the Town of Sullivans Island wants for its municipal operations.
Sanford chairs the board and lives on the island. He said he would continue to support auctioning the land to the highest bidder.
In 1949, the federal government gave the state the property for free. It had been used since 1915 as part of the Army's operations at Fort Moultrie. There are two pieces of property: a rundown dock with a dock house and a warehouse on a neighboring parcel of land........
