Beaufort County, South Carolina

As part of the Southern Beaufort Regional Plan, TischlerBise and Clarion Associates conducted an infrastructure financing evaluation. In this evaluation TischlerBise and Clarion worked with County staff to identify acceptable level-of-service standards and, based on these standards, project infrastructure needs in the future as well as existing deficiencies. The second step involved projecting dedicated capital revenue to these infrastructure needs in order to estimate the funding “gap”. TischlerBise and Clarion then evaluated potential revenue sources and financing mechanisms available to address the identified funding needs. Finally, three funding scenarios were prepared to illustrate how a combination of revenue sources/approaches could work.
