Home business owners fear zoning crackdown in Aiken
In Aiken County residents along Rushton Road and New Bridge Road face potential legal action as enforcement tightens on home based businesses. The issue stems from long standing residential zoning limits that now threaten small shops opened before 1992 and newer ventures alike. County officials hosted a town hall to seek input while discussing possible zoning tweaks or a customized district to balance homes and small enterprises.
