                                  A New Way to Work - the I-526 Extension of Charleston County and more
                                                                                                     economically efficient opportunities
                                  Charleston County plans to spend half a billion dollars on the extension of I-526. Findings show
                                                                  that the project will increase commute time by only 2 minutes. A New Way to Work is non-profit
                                                                  organization founded by concerned citizens throughout many areas surrounding the potential project.
                                                                  Their existence is based on monetary studies examining possible alternatives to the extension and ways
                                                                   that half a billion dollars can be better spent. Their theories and studies are based on the same tenants
                                                                  of the FlexCode. Staff encourages the examination of all materials produced by this group which can be
