Big Plans for Mount Pleasant are Underway.

The Town of Mount Pleasant is working on several capital improvements projects to upgrade aging infrastructure. It has been 85 years since the Town’s first water lines were installed on Main and Franklin Streets. Their construction in 1937 allowed for the establishment of the Mount Pleasant Fire Department and construction of McAllister School (currently Town Hall). 

Now Mount Pleasant is building on that foundation for its future.  Between 2022 and 2026, the Town will undertake the capital improvement projects detailed within this site.

Oldenburg Street Paving - Update June 25,2026

Paving on Oberhaus Street and Waldeck Court are complete.  Due to extensive base repair needed on Erbach Lane, the project will take longer than anticipated.  The contractor will return the week of July 6 to complete resurfacing and backfill on Erbach Lane.  Marksburg Court will likely also be paved due to available funds and mobilization, since it is the only road in Oldenburg to not have previously been resurfaced.
