Anyone who has been following the Military Enhancement Committee over the past year or so knows that we have diligently been working with the installation and Beaufort County to resolve issues associated with collection of stormwater impact fees. The County had hired legal counsel to resolve this issue, but recently agreed to part ways with them in the spirit of collaboration and partnership. This is a huge win for the region in that it restores long-standing relationships with installation leaders as well as opens the door for future cooperation through intergovernmental support agreements, memorandums of agreement, and other public-public partnership mechanisms that will be mutually beneficial to the military and community.
