BREAKING: Beaufort County has officially broken ground on a new community center in St. Helena, marking a significant step towards enhancing local services and community engagement. The groundbreaking ceremony took place earlier today, October 25, 2023, with local officials and residents in attendance, underscoring the project’s importance to the community.
This new facility is set to cost approximately $2 million and promises to deliver a range of recreational and educational programs for residents of all ages. Local leaders emphasized that this center will be a cornerstone for community activities, providing a space for gatherings, events, and youth programs.
“Today marks a new chapter for St. Helena,” said County Commissioner Jane Doe during her speech at the event.
“This community center will not only serve as a hub for residents but also as a symbol of our commitment to improving quality of life in Beaufort County.”
The community center is expected to open in late 2024, providing much-needed resources and a welcoming space for families and individuals alike. With construction now underway, local officials are eager to see the project progress and are encouraging community members to stay engaged throughout the development.

The new community center will address the increasing demand for public spaces that foster connection and collaboration among residents. It is anticipated to create job opportunities during construction and in ongoing operations.
Local residents expressed excitement about the project, noting the positive impact it will have on the community’s social fabric. “Having a place where we can all come together is vital,” said long-time resident John Smith. “We need a space that’s dedicated to our families and activities, and this is it.”
As construction progresses, officials will provide regular updates to the community, ensuring transparency and involvement in the development process. The next phase will include a series of public meetings to discuss plans for the center’s features and programming.
