Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission Holds 21 Public Meetings in 2009

In February 2009, a newsletter was sent out to individuals and organizations in all four states within the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor (South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina, and Florida). Newsletters or comment forms were also distributed at public meetings and other events within the corridor throughout the spring and summer of 2009. Additionally, 21 public meetings were held in 19 communities in the four states within the cultural heritage corridor from February-August, 2009. These meetings provided the public an opportunity to express their thoughts and opinions about the future of the corridor. During the official comment period 125 individual correspondences were received via letter, e-mail, electronic entries into PEPC, or hardcopy comment forms. Additionally, there were many people that spoke at each of the 21 public meetings. Together, the public input yielded 1,553 total comments.
