THIS WEEK IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Governor McMaster convened the first meeting of his Accelerate SC group on Thursday, April 23. Clemson University Trustee Nicky McCarter is serving as a member of the Governor’s advisory team.
The economic revitalization plan consists of five components of analysis and effort: Response (Lead: Dept of Commerce), Protection (Lead: DHEC), Governance (Lead: Executive Office of the Governor), Resources (Leads: Dept of Administration, Executive Budget Office), and Information (Lead: Dept of Administration).
Working groups for each of the five components are meeting this week. The full group will convene again next week to hear reports and recommendations from the working groups.
These components will employ maximum communication, collaboration and cooperation among themselves and those assisting to effectively identify issues, solutions, and assets necessary for a phased revitalization path for South Carolina’s economy, guided by healthcare and medical data.
