USC to buy co
for conservatit
By KEITH BOUDREAUX
Staff Writer
USC ? A 2,000-acre tract of coastal property,
which USC bid for and won in December, will be
conserved and used for research and educational purposes.
USC bid $10.5 million for the Georgetown County
property, all of which came from private investors
and donors, said James Rex, vice president of
University Advancement.
"One of the key points that we want to try to get
across is that the dollars for the acquisition of the
property and for the maintenance of and activities on
the property will not come from state appropriated
money," Rex said. The deal will be finalized in early
March, he said.
Rex said 500 to 600 acres will be developed into
residential homesites. USC will receive payment for
allowing development on the land.
"It (the money from development) will be an initial
commitment of somewhere in the neighborhood
of $2 million for an endowment," Rex said.
The endowment money from the development will
be used only to maintain the tract and fund programs
taking place on the property, he said.

"These private dollars are being provided solely
for the purpose of this initiative and would not come
to the university foundation for any other purpose,"
Rex said.
The purchase of the tract should help to improve
and supplement many of USC's natural science programs.
USC's marine science program, ranked fourth
in the nation, stands to benefit greatly.
"We'll take an already nationally ranked program
and, with the addition of sites like this, be able to be
a world-class institution in the area of environmental
science," Rex said.
USC's Baruch Institute for Biology and Coastal
Research will benefit as well.
- "It will enable us to enlarge and enrich our current
program by allowing us to have access to diverse
coastal habitats to study," said John Vemberg, director
of the Baruch Institute.
In addition to supplementing USC's educational
programs, the university will use the tract in conjunction
with the S.C. public school system to enhance
elementary and secondary level science programs.
"This will enable us to reach out and have a
greater impact on not only college students, but on K
through 12 students as well," Vernberg said.
