 County Council hears final report of Vision 20/20 task forces web posted February 6, 2008 EDGEFIELD – John Culbertson of the Edgefield County Chamber of Commerce delivered the final report on the Vision 20/20 Report to the Edgefield County Council Tuesday night. Mr. Culbertson said that the group has identified three main objectives for the future of Edgefield County, Economic Development, chaired by Bettis Rainsford, Education, chaired by Dr. Mary Rice-Crenshaw, and Quality of Life chaired by Sandy Backensto. On the Economic Development strategies were to build a speculative building in the county industrial park, improve commercial and retail growth, improve marketing of Edgefield County, and to have a “focused approach to economic development in Edgefield”. Under the Education objectives were reducing drop out rates of high school students, developing an education foundation to write grants to be made available to the school district, expanding performing arts in middle schools including drama and orchestra, developing a plan for enhancement of district operational funding due to tax changes, and determine future facility needs of the school district with anticipated growth and shift in student attendance areas. The Quality of Life task force was to secure a recreation consultant to develop an efficient recreation system and plan for Edgefield County, create a tourism board to develop a countywide tourism plan and to pursue funding from grants for the implementation of the plan. After the twenty-minute presentation the Edgefield County Council took the report in as information. A full copy of the report is available at the Edgefield County Chamber of Commerce in Johnston. ©
