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.
