The Wagener Terrace Neighborhood Association (WTNA) is a volunteer-led group that advocates for residents, builds community, and helps our neighborhood thrive.
If you’ve ever complained about trash in the water, this is your moment. Halsey Creek Cleanup: Hampton Park, 2.27.26, 12–2 PM. One hour of effort beats a year of hand-wringing. @students_of_the_marsh @marsh_project
AROUND THE TERRACE | FEBRUARY
February is the quiet setup month. Prune for structure, top-dress beds with compost, reset mulch to 2–3", and pull winter weeds before they seed. Small moves now = easier spring, fewer weeds, and a yard that looks “handled” without constant work.
Volunteer Day at Corrine Jones Park Thursday, February 19, from 9:00–11:00 a.m.
Join us in caring for one of our neighborhood’s most important green spaces. Parks Conservancy staff will be on site, and all tools and supplies will be provided—just show up ready to work.
Strong neighborhoods maintain their own places. Bring a neighbor. Bring your kids. The more hands, the better the park.
Best sunsets in all of CHS. Right here in Wagener Terrace.
A stronger Wagener Terrace starts with neighbors. Join the Wagener Terrace Neighborhood Association. #wagenerterrace #WTNA #charlestonsc
Big conversation, real stakes. WTNA hosted Mayor Cogswell to dig into the proposed Transportation Tax—an initiative that could unlock roughly $200M for major infrastructure investments, including flood mitigation, the seawall, and other critical improvements across Uptown. Proud to co-host this discussion with North Central Neighborhood Associations @ncnachs, and Westside Neighborhood Association.
Take a look at our Facebook for the recording on YouTube.

What is the TST?
First approved by voters in 2004, the TST is a ½-cent sales tax that funds transportation priorities like roads, safety improvements, greenbelts, and repairs. In 2026, Charleston voters will decide whether to extend it.
Charleston County administers and project-manages TST funds and has held community listening sessions to gather input. The Mayor has asked neighborhood associations to endorse his proposed priorities. He will need to finalize and present his proposal for the funds allocated to Charleston City in February/March (County Council Vote). In response, Upper Peninsula neighborhoods—including Westside, Wagener Terrace, Hampton Park Terrace, and North Central—requested greater clarity, particularly around:
How TST funds would be allocated
How much would go to neighborhood street projects vs. large infrastructure efforts like the Battery extension/seawall
At this meeting, the Mayor will present his proposed priorities, and our community will have the opportunity to discuss and share what matters most to us before any endorsement.
Your voice matters—please join us.
Magnolia Landing is finally moving from concept to construction. Stuart Coleman walked us through the updated plan: 158 townhomes in the first phase, a full-service grocery, multiple parks, 72 single-family homes, new office and multifamily space, and a public dock on the Ashley. A long-stalled site is about to turn into an active extension of the neighborhood. Finally, the bridge will go somewhere! Are you excited?
🌿 November Yard of the Month 🌿
Congrats to Susan & Jim Wigley at 201 5th St. — their yard is a beautiful example of nature-based gardening and native plant love. 💚
They told us:
“We hope our yard will promote native plant awareness and nature-based gardening. It’s a work in progress as we experiment with this philosophy, and we encourage our neighbors to join the Homegrown National Park.”
