About The JIC
The Johns Island Council is a volunteer group of citizens that serves as a liaison between island residents. Members include Johns Island residents, property owners, business owners, and an appointed voting representative from Wadmalaw Island. All members are volunteers.
The Johns Island Council regularly communicates resident’s perspectives on transportation, facilities, and infrastructure projects. Its members also attend public hearings to express support for our concerns about specific development projects, zoning and environment ordinances, and other matters affecting island residents. The Johns Island Council also hosts presentations monthly by civic groups, developers, municipal planners, local fire safety personnel, police, City and County officials as well as forums for candidates at its regular monthly meetings all of which affect Johns Island. (Johns Island Council does not endorse any political candidates, forums are simply for informational purposes only). Johns Island Council provides scholarships for students within the Johns Island residents. Johns Island Council works within our Community Assistance Committee to provide resident’s with resources for personal needs within our community. Our monthly meetings are open to the pubic at the Berkeley Electric Cooperative 1135 Main Road Johns Island, SC 29455 at 7:00 p.m. on the second Thursday of every month.
