The Litchfield Corridor Beautification annual
meeting will be held on Monday, October 25,2010
at 4pm
at the
Litchfield by the Sea Beach Clubhouse.
Please mark your calendars.
As you drive
south on route 17 from Brookgreen Gardens to Litchfield/Pawleys Island
area you will see a transformation of the median from tall overgrown
grass to a beautiful oasis of manicured lawn, beautiful palm trees and
bushes that are maintained completely by the generosity of local home
owner associations, businesses and generous residents who are dedicated
to making this area one of the most beautiful in South Carolina This
area runs from Sandy Island Road to Martin Luther King Road, some 3.2
miles. When you first come to the Litchfield area, you are immediately
struck how beautiful the median looks and how it sets this community
apart from all the others.
Litchfield
Beautification Corridor - Background
In 2007 the Litchfield Corridor Beautification Committee (LCBC) was
organized to maintain the medians and shoulders on Route 17 from Sandy
Island Road south to Martin Luther King Road, approximately 3.2 miles.
Without the LCBC and the generosity of local businesses, local property
owner associations and residents this stretch of road would look like
the majority of Route 17 and the beauty of this stretch of road which
distinguishes our area and makes it stand out would have been lost! All
maintenance on this area, which includes weekly mowing, trash pickup
five days a week, new plantings, and the care of existing planting is
done under the direction of the LCBC organization and funded completely
through donations and grants.

to all the residents who have contributed to
the committee. The median along Ocean
Highway is being maintained very well, again
due to the support of our residents. If you
