New Walking Plan means physical and economic health for Hampton County


Hampton County’s Eat Smart Move More Coalition is ready to


begin implementing the “Hampton County Comprehensive Walking Plan.” Developed for the Coalition by the Lowcountry Council of Governments’ (LCOG’s) planning department, one of the plan’s key objectives is to “Emphasize how important pedestrian facilities are to economic development in Hampton County—in terms of quality of life for employees and managers of businesses and as attractors of visitors.” This will be accomplished by coordinating a system of local


and county-wide walkways—some of which already are in place-- for all residents, with links between schools, churches, shopping, employers, educational institutions and health care facilities, and within and between Hampton County’s communities. Since there are already enthusiastic walkers in Hampton County, making the

plan a reality will build on existing walking-for-fitness activities and behavior patterns at places like Wade Hampton High School track, Lightsey Park, Estill Walking Trail and Lake Warren State Park. Instead of trying to develop the whole system at once, which


has not worked in many other places, LCOG recommends starting with one or more of what staff have termed “Focus Projects.” These are small-scale walking facilities that can be built as inexpensively as possible, while providing the greatest impact in terms of creat- ing interest and usage. Preliminary concepts for two possible (and LCOG planners emphasizes that at this point these are just sugges- tions) are pictured here. The full plan will be available at Hampton County’s web site


and also at LCOG’s (www.lowcountrycog.org) and hard copies will be available at the libraries and the County administration building. If you would like to be involved with Eat Smart Move More


Hampton County, or to help the Walking Plan move forward, con- tact Ethel Denmark at edenmark@bjhchs.org.
