The Anderson County Vision Plan
DRAFT
November 2006
Prepared by
Carpe Diem Community Solutions, Inc.
Imagine Anderson - Vision Plan (DRAFT)
A people belong to a place, and a place belongs to a people. This visioning plan
for the people of Anderson County is a claim stake for the future. It is a
collection of voices representing what matters most to the people of Anderson
County.
All the ideas expressed during focus groups, interviews, and town hall meetings
over the last few months were compiled and then clustered under the key
categories that emerged from the commonality of responses. The five key
categories are Growth Management, Education, Economic Development, Health
and Human Services, and Leisure and Recreation.
Growth Management – The citizens of Anderson County want managed,
reasonable growth, not wild unrestrained growth and not constricted, strangled
growth. For economic prosperity, Anderson County must have growth.
Citizens believe that growth can be plentiful while preserving history, natural
beauty, and overall high quality of life. Governmental organizations need to be
accountable for the management of growth.
GM1
Develop a modern, vibrant downtown Anderson with attention to density
issues, transportation and parking, elimination of empty buildings,
preservation of historical buildings, flourishing shopping and commerce with
a variety of night activities, and attractive cultural events and experiences.
Partner with Anderson University and other educational institutions
whenever possible to improve number and quality of public events.
GM2
Create more green space.
GM3
Land-use ordinances, coordinated city and county codes, along with
preservation partnership efforts, can produce well-managed development.
GM4
We must have a land use plan and a plan for growth, knowing when growth
is coming, and being ready with financial resources to meet development
that requires additional roads, the expansion of water, utilities, sewerage,
waste, storm water capability, as well as maintenance and replacement of
aging infrastructure.
GM5
Improve transportation infrastructure and road network, e.g., 252, 76-176
(to Princeton, to Hwy 25), 274-25.
GM6
Build on citizen and government pride in communities and in Anderson
County to energize growth efforts. Develop a comprehensive master plan.
GM7
Government agencies must be accountable, seeking agreement to form a
united front to reach common goals. Citizens and city-county government
officials must enforce zoning regulations and codes while addressing growth
opportunities.
GM8
Revitalize downtown areas countywide.
GM9
Identify road, utility, and sewer needs for growth. Increase access to sewer
lines, and decrease septic use.
2006. Carpe Diem Community Solutions, Inc.

Page 2 of 10
GM10
Promote and manage quality of growth along the I-85 corridor and provide
necessary infrastructure, particularly water and sewerage. Investigate
possible industrial park on I-85 and tie-in to I-Car with Tier 2 commerce
potential.
GM11
Citizens want accessible shopping and commerce in stylish urban settings
while retaining the feel of the village with flexible gathering spaces for
cultural events, with rural vistas, and with productive agricultural lands
relatively close at hand.
GM12
Transportation for tomorrow should be planned today, including public
transportation, maintenance and expansion of roads, thoughtful
transportation linkages between Anderson, Williamston, Belton, Iva, Pelzer,
West Pelzer, Pendleton, Powdersville, Honea Path, and Star, as well as
agreeable public transport within towns, an integrated mass transit system,
and efficient passage through the county to major urban centers beyond the
county.
GM13
Provide quality-of-life additions, such as bike paths, walking trails, and
dedicated green spaces with high visual appeal, and retain access to clean
water. Maintain high quality air standards.
GM14
Widen Hwy 29 and other key arteries to allow for future growth and to ease
traffic congestion. Widen and improve other county roads, e.g., Flat Rock
Road, Mayfair Road, 187.
GM15
Develop an incremental plan to add infrastructure, e.g., improved roads,
water, and in many cases sewerage, for rural areas.
GM16
Improve visual appeal of county with better landscaping, signage, and
removal of blighted areas.
GM17
Continue to plan into the future—this is not a one-time event—and continue
to solicit involvement from many stakeholders, especially citizens at all
levels, civics groups, government officials, and commercial interests.
GM18
Develop resources and treasures, such as Lake Hartwell.
GM19
Revaluate local tax options to generate funds for improvements, e.g., roads,
downtown areas, and expansion of utilities.
GM20
Clean up Rocky River Swamp.

Education – The crucial role of education is consistently held up as a beacon
of health, prosperity, and good citizenship by the citizens of Anderson County,
who believe that education must make adjustments to meet the needs of
today’s learners and those of tomorrow. Education is clearly given a place of
importance in the constellation of what is valued. Education is multidimensional, and all parties—state and local governments, parents, educators,
and children—must value education for it to be successful.
Ed1
Emphasize that education begins early with good parenting, wholesome
childcare, and the school readiness of Anderson’s children. Early childhood
education should be emphasized.
Ed2
Parenting skills classes and quality childcare should be accessible.
Ed3
We must increase the graduation rate and decrease the dropout rate. The
citizens of Anderson County want every child to graduate from high school.
Current high school curriculum must prepare students for post-secondary
education.
Ed4
Teacher training is a key to success—we must produce and hire quality
teachers.
Ed5
County school districts needs to be efficient and effective so that all children
receive equivalent opportunities and resources. Study and openly discuss
revenue equalization. Consider all possible ways to make school districts
more efficient, including closer coordination or consolidation.
Ed6
All county school districts need to be responsive to population growth areas
in development of new schools.
Ed7
Build a quality workforce—bridge the gap between what schools are teaching
and what business and industry needs. Vocational education is likely to
play an increasingly greater role in building the valuable workforce of the
future.
Ed8
We must be flexible to adapt to the changing face of education, particularly
in terms of the use of facilities, awareness of multiple learning styles, the
employment of flexible modes of instruction, and the use of technology.
Ed9
Improve the school system. We cannot be satisfied with what we have. Be
bold and demand excellence.
Ed10
Find the appropriate balance between traditional K-12 subject matter,
sports, foreign language, citizenship, applied subjects, life skills, cultural
and historical studies, and the arts.
Ed11
As part of school curriculum, educate children and youth about real-world
issues and the positive and negative consequences of those real-world
choices. Educate youth on the heavy costs of teen pregnancy, illegal drug
use, and domestic violence.
Ed12
Closely partner with Anderson University, Tri-County Tech, Clemson
University, and other educational institutions to advance economic
development, which leads to higher paying jobs.
Page 4 of 10
Ed13
Think of education as filling a spectrum of opportunities for all parts of
society from infant to senior.
Ed14
Use citizen volunteers to augment educational offerings and to render
assistance to educators and school systems. Develop an energetic
mentoring system that uses skilled adults, seniors, and college students.
Ed15
Preserve school history, neighborhood schools, traditions, and uniqueness
while achieving fairness and equivalent access to resources.
Ed16
Provide opportunities and assistance for those who have documented needs
so that they can access a quality education, e.g., the poor, single mothers,
those who have served time and are rehabilitated.
Ed17
Use county resources or develop underused areas to partner in education
and recreation programs, e.g., Lake Hartwell, Rocky River Swamp, and Old
Anderson Mill.

Economic Development – The citizens of Anderson County recognize the
importance of an adaptable, productive workforce and the necessity of having
plenty of jobs available. A diversified economy is the goal, complete with the
necessary service jobs, but also with ample employment opportunities in
technology, health care, commerce, agriculture, and tourism, among other
areas.
EDev1
Create a climate that welcomes new high tech, clean industry jobs and
business opportunities, as well as stimulating job growth in areas already
present in Anderson County. Partner with private enterprise.
EDev2
Continue to emphasis and demand a quality workforce through the
emphasis on education.
EDev3
Develop industries and businesses that are best suited for areas of
employment: geriatrics, technology, healthcare, pharmaceuticals,
telecommunications, agriculture, and research & development, as well as
the service industry. Future jobs will come if we prepare for them.
EDev4
Higher wage jobs from diverse business options will be required to keep the
young in Anderson County. Welcome young, skilled professionals. Keep
young professionals and youth here by providing the following: jobs with
good incomes and growth opportunities, quality of life, a safe living
environment, a variety of recreational activities, quality education options,
family activities, and a vibrant community.
EDev5
Build an economic base that allows young people to stay in Anderson, while
maintaining the atmosphere of being a friendly and caring community, a
multi-faceted city with a small town atmosphere, a place that values
diversity.
EDev6
Seek out and encourage higher paying, knowledge-based jobs. Provide jobs
at all economic levels. Create economic diversity.
EDev7
Sustain and enhance the tie-in with Anderson University, Clemson
University, Tri-County Tech, as well as other educational institutions, in
economic development activities.
EDev8
Reevaluate transportation between towns and with major nearby urban and
educational centers, e.g., Greenville, Clemson, and Charlotte.
EDev9
Consider marketing Anderson County as a retirement community and then
be prepared to provide the necessary transportation, health care, and
community flavor to match. Provide a network to support individual aging
population needs. Senior Solutions can be instrumental in this role.
EDev10
Ensure the sustainability of natural resources, particularly water and food
supply, as foundations for economic development.
EDev11
Look to Lake Hartwell to offer conference center facility, recreation, and
tourism industry jobs. Develop a plan for its long-term use.
EDev12
Most jobs will come from small- and medium-sized businesses, so we need
to find ways to support, and to offer incentives to, those businesses. Be
business-friendly.
Page 6 of 10
EDev13
Access the talents, skills, and the mentoring potential of senior citizens, who
provide an additional work force.
EDev14
Consider financial options to fuel economic development, e.g., sales tax,
casino revenue tax.
EDev15
Create or expand industrial parks and commerce zones to provide incentives
to business, particularly in the I-85 corridor. Promote expanded use of the
