RICHLAND COUNTY – Richland County is inviting the public to participate in the next phase of “Reimagine Richland,” the 10-year update of its comprehensive plan. When completed, the updated plan will serve as a long-term guide for the county’s decisions on future development, land use, and conservation efforts.
The comprehensive plan process is divided into three phases. The county is currently in the second phase—plan development—and will host a series of public forums to present land use scenarios and gather feedback from residents and businesses.
The first of these drop-in style meetings will take place Thursday, May 1, with additional sessions scheduled throughout May. County staff will be on hand to share information about the plan, explain proposed land use concepts, and collect community input.
All meetings will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. at the following locations:
-
May 1 at EdVenture Children’s Museum, 211 Gervais Street, Columbia
-
May 7 at Ballentine Community Center, 1009 Bickley Road, Irmo
-
May 12 at North Springs Community Center, 1320 Clemson Road, Columbia
-
May 14 at Doko Manor, 100 Alvina Hagood Circle, Blythewood
-
May 21 at Garners Ferry Adult Activity Center, 8620 Garners Ferry Road, Hopkins
Residents who are unable to attend a forum can find more information and provide feedback online at www.richlandcountysc.gov/ReimagineRichland.
Richland County officials encourage everyone to participate and help shape the future of the community.
