Aiken County Debt Stays Near Peak Levels amid Decline
Aiken County held 37.8 million in outstanding general obligation bonds as of June 2015, down from 41.7 million in 2012. The decline stems from principal payments, with 2015 seeing payoff of the Hydrogen Laboratory loan and the 2006 Convocation Center bonds. Per capita debt dropped from 260 to 229 dollars, and projections show debt service millage easing to under 3.0 mils by 2022 and 2.5 mils by 2042 if no new debt is issued.
