Over the past year, the Town of St. Stephen has embarked on an extensive comprehensive planning process to update the Town’s Comprehensive Plan (last updated in 1997). Pathway to Prosperity is the result of the collaborative efforts between St. Stephen residents, business owners, public officials, and other community members and stakeholders.
The Purpose
Pathway to Prosperity is:
▶ A highly influential, long-range planning document used to inform and guide public policy and decision-making
▶ An assessment of the community’s needs
▶ A ‘living document’ that embodies the changing vision of the community
The Focus
While taking inspiration from the Town’s 1997 Plan, Pathway to Prosperity is focused on empowering residents and revitalizing the community to foster in a new wave of prosperity and economic growth in St. Stephen. That is why the Town of St. Stephen, in collaboration with the BerkeleyCharleston-Dorchester Council of Governments (BCDCOG), Berkeley County Economic Development (BCED), and Santee Cooper, has developed Pathway to Prosperity alongside the Economic Development Strategy. Together, these plans will provide the foundation for economic growth and investment to come to St. Stephen.
