News Notes

Opening

Develpoment

One of the Holy City’s most iconic landmarks is shedding a layer. The restoration of the historic St. Philip’s Church steeple is almost finished, and most of the scaffolding has been taken down. This project marked the first repairs for the structure since 1989, following Hurricane Hugo. (The Post and Courier)
