Update: Final Round of Public Engagement on Charleston Comprehensive Plan

preservation-admin , March 29, 2021

The City of Charleston has announced a robust schedule of community engagement events focused on the Comprehensive Plan update, known as the City Plan, both in-person and online. Over the next month, a series of feedback sessions, pop-ups, and open houses will provide residents multiple opportunities to share their vision for Charleston’s future and discuss key points of the Plan with City Staff and consultants.

This is a once-in-a-decade chance to help shape the City’s policies and approach to decision-making on major issues like land use, transportation, and flood mitigation. The City Plan will provide recommendations specific to each unique, geographic area throughout the city—Don’t miss your chance to address concerns and priorities in your neighborhood! See below for an overview of this spring’s schedule of events, and visit charlestoncityplan.com for more details.

The PSC applauds City Staff for their efforts to meaningfully engage residents through this spring’s calendar of events. Planning responsibly for Charleston’s future cannot be rushed and, given the inability to offer in-person engagement opportunities over the past year, we are encouraged by the City’s willingness to slow down and ensure outreach is effective and inclusive.
