2018 SCAPA Planning Awards

The South Carolina Chapter of the American Planning Association (SCAPA) announced the recipients for the 2018 SCAPA Planning Awards at its annual conference on November 2, 2018 at the Westin Poinsett.

The SCAPA Planning Awards recognize outstanding efforts and achievements that advance the art and science of planning in the Palmetto State. Each of the plans, projects and organizations recognized demonstrate a contribution to the improvement of the quality of life for South Carolinians.
