The Charleston Green Plan is dead. Long live the city's Green Plan.

The mandates and grand visions of the failed Charleston Green Plan have been swept away.
The committee responsible for it has been replaced by a more mild group of representation and a focus on creating incentive-based change.
The Charleston City Paper's Greg Hambrick has a good story about what's up. But, be forwarned, at 1,400 words this isn't your average Internet skimmer.
The Charleston Regional Business Journal also had a writeup a few weeks ago.
It's sad to see the boldness of the first plan be washed away, but there's a lot of logic to this new approach, especially given the change in the economic environment from when the first got under way.
