ANDERSON COUNTY, SC – Green Pond Landing & Event Center received Honorable Mention in the SC Association of Counties’ (SCAC) 2015 J. Mitchell Graham Award Competition during the annual conference this week.
SCAC summarized the project, “Anderson County is an active recreational community. Understanding how vital recreational is to the county’s future future growth, the county developed Green Pond Landing & Event Center — a high-capacity boating facility that benefits all local citizens as well as attracts international tournaments. As an economic force in the Anderson community, Green Pond Landing & Event Center stimulates the regional economy in Upstate South Carolina.”
ABOUT THE AWARD
The J. Mitchell Graham/Barrett Lawrimore Memorial Awards recognize innovative projects completed by South Carolina’s counties during the past fiscal year. Winners represent the best qualities of local governance-attention to details, service to citizens, efficient use of tax dollars, and improvement in the quality of life. They demonstrate how creative problem-solving and collaboration can achieve impressive results, and offer new ideas for other counties to consider.
The J. Mitchell Graham Memorial Award recognizes counties that address community challenges, implement operational improvements, or enhance their citizens’ quality of life in a unique way.
The Barrett Lawrimore Memorial Regional Cooperation Award highlights the growing need for regional partnerships, strategies, and solutions. Competition for this award is open to two or more political subdivisions (counties or county partnerships formed with city, town, district, or regional government organizations) that worked together on a project.
