Service-Learning for Economic and Community Development
Strategic Planning:
McClellanville, S.C. as a Case Study
Presenters:
Dr. David Hughes, Clemson University School of
Agriculture, Forest and Environmental Sciences, and Clemson Institute for
Economic and Community Development
Mr. Harry Crissy, Clemson University Regional Community
and Economic Development Agent for Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester
Counties, S.C.
Mr. Devin Swindall, Research Associate, Clemson Institute
for Economic and Community Development
In cooperation with Clemson University Extension
Community Development and the Clemson Institute for Economic and Community
Development, Clemson undergraduates and graduate students have worked with
local leaders in numerous South Carolina communities in developing and
implementing strategic plans. In a number of these communities, this
effort has been on-going, involving formal classes over several years.
McClellanville, SC, a small fishing village on the coast north of Charleston,
is an example of a community where local leaders have embraced this approach to
strategic planning. The strategic planning process is a strength,
weakness, opportunity, and threat (SWOT) type analysis based on interviews with
key informants, survey of local residents, and a public workshop. Issues
and solutions identified in this manner then form the core for students working
in the implementation phase of this process. We will explain the
strategic planning effort in detail. The discussion will also center on
how working with local leaders has resulted in several success stories
including gaining access to the Charleston restaurant market for locally
harvested shrimp and the start of a local charter school centered on
environmental education.
