Court denies dismissal. Project Jackson appeal moves forward
The South Carolina Supreme Court denied the City of North Augusta’s bid to dismiss an appeal in the Project Jackson development case. Donohue, a River Club resident, sued the city and officials over a 25 acre project between River Club and Hammond’s Ferry that could include a hotel, shops, and a baseball stadium for the Augusta GreenJackets. The ruling expediting the appeal requires briefs within 10 days.
