Residents will have several upcoming opportunities to learn about potential zoning changes, as Richland County continues to finalize its rewritten Land Development Code (LDC).

Conservation Education Mini-Grants provided by the Richland Soil and Water Conservation District (RSWCD) will support four gardening and pollinator conservation projects at County education sites this spring.

The County has pushed back its timeline for potential adoption of new zoning districts, giving staff and the public more time to discuss possible changes to residents’ property.

Three Richland County conservationists received accolades Tuesday from the S.C. Association of Conservation Districts (SCACD) at its Conservation Partnership Conference in Charleston.

Beginning Tuesday, March 1, Richland County will offer residents free seeds to kick-start their home and community gardens for spring, thanks to a new partnership and a grant from Dominion Energy.
