Anticipating growth and additional traffic at the I-95/Route 17 interchange, officials in Jasper County sought the expertise of LSL Planning to develop a Subarea plan for Point South, an area that has struggled to develop in the fashion originally envisioned. Historic landmarks and local maritime influences create the underpinnings of plans to accommodate future commercial and tourist traffic while providing a hub for future research, development and corporate offices that will support the regional economy.

Challenging aspects of the project - poor access to Route 17 and unsafe traffic conditions; lack of road, sidewalk and storm sewer infrastructure; a haphazard development pattern; and marginal aesthetic appeal – are addressed through alternative road designs, access management and streetscaping, and the creation of a County Improvement District to help fund needed infrastructure. Design guidelines will be developed to accommodate needed change while retaining the historic character of the area.
