Concept plan for old Aiken County hospital revealed
A four story hotel with conference center, 400 space parking garage, 135 unit apartment, and a large pond are shown in a concept plan for the old Aiken County hospital property. The Hitchcock Hotel elevates the drawings dated April 14 as demolition would wipe current structures except a stone wall. Community opposition and rezoning requests accompany the plan as the county sells the 23 acre site for 11 million to WTC Investments LLC after prior talks with Marlan Group fell through. Public review by the Flasnieg Cacamission is expected before City Council consideration.

City approves first reading of rezoning ordinance
The Aiken City Council on Monday took a major step by approving the first reading of a rezoning ordinance for more than 300 parcels near downtown. Excluding the Salvation Army properties, the measure aims to reclassify residential-adjacent general business areas to downtown business to encourage mixed use development. The ordinance requires two approvals to take effect, with final action anticipated soon.

Annual Aiken Golf Classic backs Relay For Life fundraiser
Dozens of golfers at Woodside Plantation Country Club joined the 13th annual Aiken Golf Classic coordinated by the Aiken Standard to support the American Cancer Society Relay For Life. John Tyler, Brad Yon, Dusty Rish and Phillip Widener led with a 58, winning a tiebreaker, while Toremy McCullough, Jason McAlhaney, Je son Rabin and Rakesh Jasani placed third with 32. Jasani’s close-to-pin shot on 18 inches away from a car highlighted the day, and Ryan McNew won an ace and a Honda. Over 13 years the tournament has raised more than $300,000 for cancer research and treatment.
