Greenville County Council Vote on Riparian Buffers*…

Posted on by SCNPS Website Team

WE DID IT! We got the waterway buffers we need. (But with an asterisk…)

We offer so many thanks to everyone who called, emailed, and showed up to the Greenville County Council meeting on November 7th. Because of you, the Greenville County Council voted to enshrine 50-foot riparian buffers on our waterways — for the time being (that’s the asterisk part).

Our work here is not done. But meanwhile, kudos to everyone who fought for this one. Onward and upward, together, always!

We’ll have a full report next month, including a deep dive into the details of how this all works and what comes next, courtesy of our newest editor and contributor, Cindy Clark. Keep your eye on this space!
