106 Coming Street Project: Community Engagement Council to Meet
The Community Engagement Council will meet on Sept. 3 to discuss the Coming Street Commons project.
The College of Charleston continues its efforts to partner with a diverse group of community members to help guide the commemoration and development efforts of Coming Street Commons, a planned student residence hall at 106 Coming St. in downtown Charleston.
The Community Engagement Council (CEC) will reconvene at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 3, 2026, for further discussion and collaboration.
The meeting will be held at the Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture (125 Bull St., Charleston), and virtually on YouTube.
Council members will hear project updates, receive a task force report and watch a presentation on funeral director engagement.
The CEC plays a central role in supporting the College’s efforts in honoring and memorializing both the former potter’s field and the former YWCA, providing insight and feedback on potential events and interpretative approaches to the commemoration efforts associated with this project.
Those interested in the project can read a list of frequently asked questions and answers on the project website and join the mailing list at the bottom of the Get Involved webpage.
Following the Sept. 3 meeting, the next CEC meeting is scheduled for Oct. 1, 2026.
