AND POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
The Civic Leaders Academy in greater Charleston features classes of about 15 to 20 professionals learning about land use and planning practices.
The first class graduated in 2021.
One course session is a trip to
Columbia to meet with legislators and heads of key state departments.
Participants learn about financing,
policy and how land-use decisions can sometimes wind up in the court system.
The class is educating land-use
decision-makers to vote based on sound planning.
“We were having a hard time when
projects came to the planning commission or council. There really wasn’t a
REALTOR® voice in those projects.
Projects were approved or denied for
reasons that were not justified,” said Josh Dix, consulting advisor to CTAR’s
CEO.
