On July 26 several hundred people met at the Charleston Area Convention Center to discuss how we should handle the overwhelming growth our tri-county area is experiencing. It was an opportunity for the public to sit face-to-face with elected officials and regional planners to voice their opinions and concerns as more and more people choose to call our home their home.
The event was organized by an initiative called Our Region, Our Plan, and marked the beginning of a multi-year planning process designed to develop a regional vision for Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester Counties. Visit ourregionourplan.com to get involved and have your voice heard. There’s a survey you can take, resources, news, and tons of information from the July 26 summit.
This initiative shows our leaders really do want to know what we think, and each and every one of us will be impacted by the decisions this group makes. This is our chance! Let’s show up, speak our minds, and make a difference.
