Landrum City Administrator Shannon Baldwin has announced his resignation, effective April 3, after about a year in the role. During his tenure, Baldwin oversaw several key initiatives and planning efforts for the city, including the development of Landrum's first strategic plan, the Trailside Downtown Master Plan, and the Market Pavilion Master Plan. He also led efforts to map all city streets and sidewalks, and helped hire a new streets department supervisor and police chief.
Why it matters
Baldwin's resignation comes at a critical time for Landrum, as the city is positioned for significant growth in the coming years. The strategic plan he helped develop outlines several initiatives to prepare for this growth, including deeper participation in the South Carolina Main Street program, improvements to the city's website, development of a transportation and public parking plan, and the launch of a new comprehensive plan.
The details
Baldwin said the city is also discussing the potential use of impact fees as development increases, and has already interviewed a planner to help address growth-related issues. City officials have also met with a regional engineering firm. After leaving the position, Baldwin plans to return to consulting work and teaching at the college level.
