The Northern Beaufort County Regional Plan Implementation Committee is expected to take up the Lady’s Island Plan 2018 at their regular meeting this week.

The committee will meet at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, July 26, in the Executive Conference Room of the Beaufort County Administration Building, at 100 Ribaut Road, in Beaufort.

Developed in 2018, the plan was adopted by Beaufort County and City councils in April of this year and aims to address such growth and development issues on Lady’s Island as fill dirt restrictions, the impact of sea level increases and the growth boundary.

Robert Merchant, Assistant Community Development Director for Beaufort County’s Development Department, said Friday’s meeting will primarily be used to discuss the implementation subcommittee.

The main committee, he said, already has its task force looking into the sea-level-rise and fill-ordinance issues.

“We are already moving forward on those issues,” he said.
