Presentation

0:16 → 4:25(4m 10s)

Speaker 1 introduced the updated five‑year strategic plan (initiated at last year’s retreat) and said it adds two focused action items under 'balanced growth': (1) facilitate creation of an Effingham County‑based land conservation trust to keep local lands in conservation rather than relying on out‑of‑region trusts; (2) pursue grants and funding for land preservation including purchases and conservation easements. The consultant from the University of Georgia, Carl Vincent, Institute of Government, is referenced as having participated in the plan.
