Signing of Two HUD Contracts Clears Aiken County Rehab Plan
Eric P. Thompson of the Aiken County Planning Commission says once the county signs two contracts with HUD and the planning commission, the first 700000 dollar HUD installment will be released for the 1.9 million three year New Hope rehabilitation project. The change in HUD rules removes the need for County Attorney Williams's signature, resolving a controversy that included Williams's questioned involvement and discussions of his possible dismissal.
