Flip to LID

The Florence County Planning Commission sponsored a presentation about the opportunities in low impact development (LID).



The presenter is an experienced, professional landscape designer/engineer/planner who shared information about the benefits of sustainable development to members of the Florence area community. John Thomas, from WK Dickson, presented projects integrating low impact development practices and cost savings while maximizing the number and value of developable lots.

In addition to numerous Planning Commission members and city and county staff, the event was attended by engineering firms, consultants and developers including Engineering Consultants, Inc.; D-Hall Construction Company, Finklea Law Firm, RWF Construction, BP Barber and WK Dickson's Columbia office.
