County extends plastic‑bag survey to April 1; public meetings planned
Summary
Councilwoman Alice Howard said the county extended its plastic‑bag survey to April 1 to boost business responses; the subcommittee will hold public meetings to review results and gather further input.
Councilwoman Alice Howard (speaker 10) told SoLoCo members the regional plastic‑bag survey was extended through April 1 to encourage more responses from businesses; she said the subcommittee plans to schedule public meetings around the county to share results and gather broader public feedback. "We extended it till April 1. We needed more responses from businesses," Howard said, noting the survey had received strong participation from individual residents.
Howard said the subcommittee includes local planning staff and volunteer groups such as the Port Royal Sound Foundation and credited the Coastal Conservation League with assistance on outreach. She asked members to encourage restaurant and business owners to fill out short survey cards and suggested a formal presentation after survey analysis.
Next steps: subcommittee will compile results, hold public meetings for reaction, and present findings to SoLoCo for possible next steps.
