About this organization
Mission
Advocacy leader for preserving Charleston's distinctive character, quality of life, and diverse neighborhoods
About
Advocacy: The society supports a more livable, sustainable future for Charleston through advocacy, education, and community engagement. Our focus has expanded from protecting buildings to advocating for the livability of neighborhoods and promoting diverse, vibrant commercial districts. Our advocacy focuses on preservation, growth and development, overtourism, and flooding and resilience. The society is in a unique position to understand and explain the connections between planning and zoning decisions and the quality of life for people who live and work in Charleston. A key part of the PSC's advocacy work lies in education and engagement with our membership and the broader community: through regular communication (both electronic and print) and an informative and versatile website, the PSC alerts citizens to the issues, encouraging them to engage with their public officials, and to have a voice in the public processes that impact their lives. Additional aspects of PSC's advocacy and education include 'hard hat' tours that provide informative insights into preservation projects, an easement program that allows homeowners to protect their historic properties in perpetuity.
