Redevelopment eyed for Hahn Village site in Aiken
Aiken officials announced plans to raze Hahn Village by early 2022 with a new tear-down request later this year. The project aims to replace the aging public housing complex off Laurens Street with mixed income housing and single family homes, pending final details. HUD approved demolishing Hahn Village in 2019, and residents have been relocated as utilities and stormwater work proceed.
