The North Augusta City Council recently traveled from Aiken County, SC to the coastal region of Beaufort, SC with the intent of studying the success and planning strategies of two major Beaufort projects: The Henry C.

The Habersham Marketplace, the commercial entrance to the town, along with the town's engineering principles, were the focus of the group's time at Habersham. The North Augusta City Council looks to apply some ideas from the visit to similar projects in the Aiken area to include Hammond's Ferry and North Augusta's riverfront vicinity.

About Habersham
- Habersham, SC
- Habersham is a new, coastal town in South Carolina offering more than 1,000 properties including homes, town homes and condominiums. Our town plan, by Duany Plater-Zyberk, is based on the architectural charm that is reminiscent of southern cities such as Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA. Lovely streetscapes and traditional southern architecture encourage homeowners to build relationships within Habersham as they stroll along the neighborhood’s quiet oak-lined streets, scenic woodlands, footbridges, walking trails and waterfront parks. With an array of activities, residents enjoy chatting with friends while picking-up mail at the Habersham Post Office; spending the day at a pool located on one of the connected sea islands; catching fish, crabs and shrimp from one of the neighborhood’s docks or lounging in one of Habersham’s parks under ancient live oaks while immersed in a novel. For those who love the water, homeowners can launch their boats from Habersham Creek and explore all of Beaufort's beautiful waterways and sea islands.
