SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR DEDICATES PALMETTO BLUFF PRESERVE
Bluffton, S.C. – South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford visited Palmetto Bluff Dec. 10 to help dedicate River Road Preserve, the 120-acre conservation easement along the eastern edge of the property that will be shielded in perpetuity from development.

“As a matter of public policy, I am here to thank Palmetto Bluff for taking unilateral action in preserving this land,” said Sanford. “This is a very important example to set for other developers to follow. The next generation of business and political leadership has a tremendous responsibility to take care of the environment. I think our success – as much as it will be defined by what we do – will also be defined by what we don’t do.”
