Florence Co. Leaders Seek To Create Land Conservation Plan

The initiative seeks to preserve the county's natural beauty and character as the region expands ongoing growth.

Florence County leaders are creating a land conservation plan in collaboration with the S.C. Office of Resilience and the Open Space Institute.

The plan includes specific recommendations focused on preserving natural resources, expanding opportunities for outdoor recreation, and establishing guidelines for future land-use decisions.

The initiative seeks to preserve the county’s natural beauty and character as the region expands ongoing growth.

The land conservation plan is in response to the county’s expansion, with leaders emphasizing the need to ensure economic development and conservation work in tandem. This approach prevents growth from detracting from the county’s existing natural assets.

The Florence County council is scheduled to meet again on Aug. 20 at the county complex to further discuss the land conservation plans.
