SCCA and SERP jointly sponsor Presentation:




"Rural Sprawl on the Cumberland Plateau:


Causes and Consequences"






    Lack of land use planning, over development, infrastructure collapse and inadequate water supply are very real and present now on the Cumberland Plateau. The South Cumberland Community Association (SCCA) and Students for and Environmentally Responsible Plateau will jointly sponsor a presentation by Dr. Daniel Carter entitled "Rural Sprawl on the Cumberland Plateau". Dr. Carter has consulted with county governments for the University of Tennessee since 1995. More recently he has consulted on behalf of the Tennessee Wildlife Federation, The Tennessee Wild life Resources Agency and the Lyndhurst Foundation. He recently completed his Ph.D in Political Science. Dr. Carter is currently teaching a course at the University of the South entitled "Regional Land Use Policy". This course is part of the political science and environmental studies curriculum.


    The program will be at 7:30 pm on Thursday, October 23  in Blackman Auditorium at Woods Hall. Mark your calendar for this important and timely presentation.
