Residents of Pawleys Island, SC were concerned about a proposed gas station and convenience store that posed a threat to their health and to the quality of a tidal, Atlantic Ocean tributary. CEDS was in the process of helping the residents present their reasons why the gas station should not be approved or the approval should be limited to a convenience store with no gas pumps. However, the application was withdrawn before a hearing took place. For further detail see the article at: https://coastalobserver.com/royal-farms-pulls-contract-for-gas-station-site-in-litchfield/
