The Plan reconnnends strategies to create higher paying jobs in clean technology- based businesses, including expanded training and general education opportunities, including university level educational opportunity for basic education and continuing professional training. The Plan suggests provision of support in the creation of a four-year campus, with a research facility. This step is seen as vital in building the strength in higher educational offerings to attract high technology manufacturing and service sector industries. In March 1994, South Carolina Governor Carroll A. Campbell, Jr. and University of South Carolina President, Dr. John Palms, accepted an 80-acre gift from Union Camp Corporation and initiated master planning to move toward development of a new USCB campus at this location. To date, master planning, land planning, and architecture of the first buildings have been completed, and intensive fundraising efforts are ongoing. However, in order for the campus to achieve the goals of the University and Beaufort County, additional funding is required.

A SURVEY OF THE VASCULAR FLORA OF BEAUFORT COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA: RELICTS AND REMNANTS A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Plant and Environmental Sciences by Daniel C. Payne August 2010 Accepted by: Robert E. Ballard, Committee Chair Patrick D. McMillan David W. Bradshaw Richard D. Porcher ABSTRACT Beaufort County has historically been one of the most poorly botanized counties in the state. Geographically, it lies farther from the major research institutions than most other counties and has therefore received little attention from modern botanists. Major waterways, numerous private communities and an oppressive summer climate further complicate botanical research. Beaufort has one of the fastest growing human populations in the state. Natural areas are rapidly being converted into residential and commercial developments. An understanding of the county's flora is necessary to focus conservation efforts to preserve critical habitat and develop management plans for maintaining biodiversity.
