Growth Management

Growth Management

We support intentional and collaborative growth management in the two county area (Oconee and Pickens) of South Carolina.
Position In Brief: 

We support intentional and collaborative growth management in the two-county area (Oconee and Pickens) of South Carolina. 

  • We encourage regular consultations among public agencies related to growth and development and local elected bodies -- city councils, county councils, and school boards. We also encourage an open and frequent dialogue between those agencies and the general public on growth management. 
  • We support the concept of managing growth to preserve and enhance quality of life for all residents, old and new, through the effective and coordinated use of such land use management tools as conservation easements, purchase of development rights, development impact fees, and zoning where appropriate.
