The Beaufort County Green Space Advisory Committee convened on September 10, 2026, to review several green space and corridor protection applications. Key procurement-related discussions focused on advancing due diligence for a corridor protection project supported by the Town of Port Royal, involving potential acquisition and zoning changes. The committee voted to recommend moving forward with due diligence, which includes obtaining appraisals and further council review. Another corridor protection application was deferred pending county interest in ownership. Additionally, farmland preservation and conservation easement projects were presented, with motions passed to proceed with due diligence. Updates on grant funding and project timelines were provided, including anticipated state budget allocations for fiscal year 2028. The meeting emphasized adherence to competitive grant processes and coordination with county council for final approvals.
