Ask LaFleur: How is the money for my South Carolina wildflower license plate spent?

The focus is broader now, but funds raised by the plates still go exclusively toward beautification projects through the Highway Beautification Fund, according to the South Carolina Department of Transportation website.  A state law that dates back to 1990 mandates that the fund may only be used for landscaping, wildflower planting, scenic easements or other highway enhancement projects. Eligible projects include wildflower planting, gateway projects, landscaping and bike or pedestrian paths, according to DOT. Ask LaFleur: When will Greenville glass recycling begin? Rubbing alcohol challenge: What made the South Carolina case more dangerous? Brian Keys, deputy secretary for finance and administration for DOT, said the department is currently working to finalize an agreement with the South Carolina Department of Parks and Tourism specifically for beautification projects tied directly to welcome centers across South Carolina.  The fee for the "Keep It Beautiful" plate is $54 for two years. It's available to all South Carolina residents. More than 12,000 of the tags have been purchased, according to DOT, and the tag is one of the state's most popular specialty plates.
