Rose Hill May Become New Retirement Facility In Aiken
The Aiken Planning Commission will consider a rezoning request Tuesday to convert most of Rose Hill on Greenville Street from Residential Multifamily High Density to Downtown Business. Cypress Project Corporation led by Dr. Beata G. Priore plans a senior living home with three meals daily, housekeeping, activities, and a 40-suite building, housing eight to ten residents in the main house and a communal area. If approved, the development would be treated as an inn or hotel, with Downtown Business zoning among the permissible options.
