City of Hanahan, SC

I'm Mayor Minnie Blackwell, and it's my pleasure to welcome you to the City of Hanahan's Linked in page. I'm sure you will find that Hanahan is a special and unique city with much to offer our residents, businesses and visitors. Bordered by Goose Creek and North Charleston, Hanahan is located in perhaps the most centralized part of the greater Charleston area. Whether taking a trip to area beaches, historic downtown Charleston, or taking a boat ride on one of our area rivers or lakes, Hanahan puts you right in the middle of these and many other treasures that can be found in the Lowcountry. We are also located within minutes of the Charleston International Airport, Charleston Air Force Base and the Naval Weapons Station. Hanahan is well known for having excellent schools (www.berkeley.k12.sc.us), parks and recreation, safety services and strong community spirit. Although our City is considered a bedroom community, we have vibrant and growing business and commercial districts with companies such as FedEx Ground, the Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center, and the Boeing Company among others. New prime commercial properties are available for development and nestled near new housing developments. Our city takes a proactive and pro-business approach to recruitment while implementing a planning strategy that blends well with existing development and maintaining our community's unique character.
