OSI acquired the Nisbet property with funding from the South Carolina Conservation Bank, the Arras Foundation, the Knobloch Family Foundation, Lancaster County, and Duke Energy.
The property was once proposed for a 1,000-home development in this rapidly expanding region of Lancaster County, just a short distance from Charlotte, North Carolina, but will now be forever protected, securing unique public access and upholding the Catawba Nation’s cultural and traditional connections to the land.
