Greenbelt Program's Urban Review Committee Holds Initial Meeting Nov. 28, 3 p.m.

The Greenbelt Urban Review Committee, a committee appointed to review the funding applications for the Urban Grants Program of the Charleston County Greenbelt Project, will hold its initial meeting at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 28. The Urban Review Committee meeting is open to the public and will be held at the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission building on James Island (821 Riverland Drive, Charleston).

The initial task of the Urban Review Committee is to develop an application procedure and methodology for the Urban Grants Program.

Charleston County's Comprehensive Greenbelt Plan assigns the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission (CCPRC) with the responsibility of administering the Greenbelt Project's Urban Grants Program. To assist the CCPRC with this responsibility, the Comprehensive Greenbelt Plan states that the CCPRC will appoint members to an Urban Review Committee.

Members of the Urban Review Committee will include two Greenbelt Advisory Board members, two CCPRC staff members, and two Charleston County staff members.
