MUSC Baruch Auditorium, 284 Calhoun Street
Hosted by Robert Lunz Group, South Carolina Chapter Sierra Club
The Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments (BCD-COG) is leading the formation of a BCD Regional Blueways Coalition to attract users to our regional waterways (“blueways”) and other outdoor recreational opportunities. Little has been done to inventory and market a regional blueways system that takes advantage of the connectivity of our rivers. Mobility Manager Vonie Gilreath will explain how the creation of a regional blueway network with signage and facilities will provide environmental and historic-based educational opportunities, as well as encouraging youth and their parents/guardians to become more active.
This two-year planning effort started in the Spring of 2014. Individuals and organizations interested in improving, promoting and connecting the area’s waterways have met to create a vision and establish working groups in the areas of Active Living, Economic Benefit, Conservation, Education/Awareness and Data Collection/mapping.
