    The Economic Impact of the South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium : A State-Level and Regional Perspective
    (South Carolina State Library, 2024-02) Von Nessen, Joseph C.; Darla Moore School of Business. Division of Research; South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium
    The purpose of this study is to quantify the total economic impact of the SCSGC on the state of South Carolina, as well as on the surrounding southeastern region. The economic impact of the SCSGC can be measured in three specific ways: 1) through the creation of new jobs, income, and overall economic activity that the SCSGC facilitates through the acquisition of federal funding; 2) through the creation and management of volunteer services that would otherwise have to be paid for by or within the state of South Carolina; and 3) through the support and development of educational opportunities and workforce training programs that lead to higher levels of employment and income for both current professionals and recent graduates. The remainder of this report is organized as follows: Section II describes the growth South Carolina has experienced over the past decade and the integral part its coastal resources have played in this expansion; Section III outlines the methodology that underlies this economic impact analysis, including a description of direct, indirect, and induced impacts that constitute the economic multiplier effect; Section IV highlights the main findings of this study; Section V then offers a brief conclusion.

    Architectural survey of Charleston County's School Equalization Program, 1951-1955
    (South Carolina State Library, 2005-04) Dobrasko, Rebekah; University of South Carolina. Public History Program
    The Architectural Survey of Charleston County‟s School Equalization Program, 1951-1955 surveyed a total of thirty-one schools and recorded a total of twenty-eight schools. These schools were constructed or renovated between 1951 and 1955 as part of a statewide effort to equalize black and white public school facilities to maintain segregation. The purpose of the project is to record and photograph all new schools constructed in Charleston County as part of the statewide school equalization program. Several schools included in the project had significant additions constructed as part of the program. The survey compares white and black schools to evaluate the effects of equalization as new schools were similar in construction, design, and setting and makes recommendations for each school‟s eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
