Small Towns Seek Extension and Bonds for Sales Tax Funds
Aiken County administrators outline a seven year extension for the sales tax program to fund capital projects in eight small municipalities plus the City of Aiken, North Augusta, and the county. They hope to issue bonds and pro rated distributions could total $100 million to $105 million countywide. Leaders note funds arrive after the November vote and early figures show specific municipal allocations and totals for each area.
