East Edisto Development

I thought I'd pass along a general call to the public from paper manufacturing company MeadWestvaco –


"MeadWestvaco has been a part of the Lowcountry for many years and we care about this community's future. We believe our planning process can contribute to the region's need for growth management, balancing economic vitality with the preservation of what's best about this place we call home.


Our goal is to create a conservation-driven master plan for East Edisto, the company's contiguous acreage along the eastern edge of the Edisto River located in a natural path of progress for both Charleston and Dorchester Counties.
With the land under single ownership, we have the opportunity to do something never been done before. On a rather large scale, we can engage the community in a plan that:



  • Is conservation-driven

  • Manages growth wisely

  • Addresses traffic concerns

  • Prevents sprawl by creating sustainable small towns and communities

We look forward to working with the entire community to be part of the solution in the growth challenges the Lowcountry faces and we encourage you to get involved. Submit your questions, suggestions and concerns here at EastEdisto.com, attend public meetings and let us hear from you!"
