Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments and ULI South Carolina are pleased to share the Reality Check 2.0 Results & Insights report.

To review the results & insights and access more information on Reality Check 2.0 click here.

This document captures the outcomes of the April 30 regional planning exercise and the consensus that emerged from more than 150 regional leaders. The report includes images from the event and the process of consensus building on where growth should occur, key insights on infill development, transportation priorities, housing choice, conservation and development preferences identified across the 15 working groups comprised of a cross section of public and private sector leaders and the final Guiding Principles for Growth, Barriers to Implementation, and Implementation Strategies.

The Results & Insights are intended to be a resource for local governments, nonprofits, businesses, and community partners to reference, share, and apply in planning, advocacy, development, and policy discussions.

Next steps include scheduling presentations with councils, boards, and civic organizations, developing partnerships to advance implementation, and planning for Reality Check 2.1.
