Events in the Saluda-Reedy Watershed

Low-Impact Development Roundtable

The broad goal of this effort was to allow developers to reduce stormwater impacts and the financial costs of development through low impact development (which reduces impervious surface in areas of new growth). Five additional meetings of the roundtable were proposed at the first meeting in October, 2006. Meetings were set for every third Tuesday of the month and were held from 8 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. in the training room in the Conference Room D area of County Square.

Additional LID Roundtable information is listed below. For information on current LID projects, please visit our Low-Impact Development page on the Upstate Forever website.
