Congresswoman Nancy Mace announced that Moncks Corner will receive a $1.2 million federal grant to improve local infrastructure. The funding comes from the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), which is managed by the United States Department of Transportation and allocated through the South Carolina Department of Transportation.
Mace’s office worked with state officials and Moncks Corner representatives, including submitting a congressional letter of support for the project. The grant will fund a mobility corridor that connects neighborhoods to key destinations such as Old Santee Canal Park, Moncks Corner Elementary School, Roper Hospital, and local businesses. The goal is to improve pedestrian safety, connectivity, and access for residents, students, and visitors.
“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. also commented on the announcement: “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 TAP program provides federal funds for local projects that improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians and bicyclists, such as sidewalks, bike paths, trails, better access to public transportation, enhanced mobility, and safer routes for students.
Nancy Mace has represented South Carolina’s 1st District in Congress since 2021 after replacing Joe Cunningham. She previously served in the South Carolina House of Representatives from 2018 to 2020 and was born in Fort Bragg, North Carolina in 1977.
