 Lt. Governor Andre Bauer to speak at Edgefield Alliance meeting web posted February 23, 2010 EDGEFIELD – The Edgefield County Alliance invites you to their monthly meeting Monday, March 1st, at 7:30 a.m. at Piedmont Technical College, Edgefield Campus. South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer will speak on the programs available for Senior Citizens in South Carolina and Mr. John Shields of Shields Design, LLC of Boston Massachusetts, will give an overview of the 2009 Master Plan for the riverfront areas of Augusta and North Augusta. Breakfast will be served. A small donation of $5 to help cover the cost is requested. Please RSVP to Linda Anderson at (803) 279-4138 so that we may be properly prepared for your attendance as space is limited. Lieutenant Governor Bauer was first elected Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina in 2003 and is currently a candidate for Governor. Some years ago Governor Mark Sanford appointed Bauer to head the South Carolina Office on Aging In this role he has focused on helping the senior citizens of the state by addressing many of the problems that affect them Under his leadership, the Office on Aging has become a one-stop shop for all seniors who need help cutting through federal and state governmental "red tape." Additionally he proposed and helped pass the state's first Geriatric Physicians Act, a program which will attract more geriatric physicians to South Carolina , improving care for seniors in our state. Edgefield County has often been touted as an ideal area for retirement for senior citizens and therefore it will be most interesting to hear Lieutenant Governor Bauer’s perspective on seniors and how Edgefield County can capitalize on providing services to this demographic group. Mr. Bauer, a graduate of the University of South Carolina , was first elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives in 1996 where he served until 1999 when he won election to the State Senate in a special election. He ran for Lieutenant Governor in 2003 and was elected. He was re-elected in 2006 and now is a candidate for Governor. John Shields, president and founder of Shields Design, LLC of Boston, Massachusetts, will also speak at the Alliance meeting. Mr. Shields received his Bachelors of Architecture degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Master of City Planning in Urban Design from Harvard University. He has spent over thirty years in planning, urban design and architectural design, focusing on historic sites, consumer environments, and mixed–use and residential developments in the US and abroad. Mr. Shields has much experience in this region as he was an author of the original planning document for the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor, as well as the Augusta Canal Master Plan. In 2009, he completed the Master Plan commissioned by Augusta Tomorrow for the riverfront areas of the cities of Augusta and North Augusta . He is currently working on a comprehensive plan for the entire city of Augusta-Richmond County. He resides in Boston. Mr. Shield will give an overview of the 2009 Master Plan for Augusta and North Augusta , an area which many county citizens know well. This most intriguing and ambitious plan has the potential to transform the area straddling the Savannah River , as well as to energize development throughout the Aiken-Augusta Metropolitan Area. Seeing this plan and discussing it with its author will provide Edgefield County citizens with the opportunity to gain an appreciation of the value of master planning. © Copyright 2010
