Resilience and Sustainability Advisory meeting 6-9-26

The Charleston County Resilience and Sustainability Advisory Committee met on June 9, 2026, to discuss ongoing and upcoming initiatives related to sustainability, resilience, and environmental protection. Key procurement-related topics included the county's electric vehicle (EV) transition strategy, highlighting progress in converting low-duty vehicles to EVs and hybrids, exceeding initial targets, and expanding EV charging infrastructure. The committee also reviewed the Town of Mount Pleasant's recently adopted wetlands ordinance, which addresses non-jurisdictional isolated wetlands following a 2023 Supreme Court ruling, and discussed the use of GIS mapping tools to support wetland delineation and permit processes. Additionally, updates were provided on energy savings performance contracts involving deferred maintenance and energy efficiency upgrades in county buildings, as well as funding allocations for residential weatherization programs. The meeting included discussions on collaboration with municipalities and private sector engagement to advance resilience and sustainability goals, but no specific contract awards or vendor selections were reported.
