COVID-19 delays push back two major Aiken projects on South Boundary Avenue. Dominion Energy will finish burying power lines by late December or January 2022, with Bartlett Tree Experts pruning the live oaks afterward. The $1 million effort is a public private partnership involving the city, Aiken Streetscapes, and the Aiken Land Conservancy.
