Alley project viewed as phased work starts August
Alley Council member Reggie Ebner notes the survey predates known water and sewer issues and bids may rise to cover unexpected costs. With approval, phase one could begin in August and finish by April, with construction pausing for Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks around events like the Aiken Spring Steeplechase and The Masters. The city hired JLA for conceptual work at 45500, with total project estimates near 1.24 million funded by SCE&G franchise, capital tax rounds, and utility funds, as staff and downtown groups push underground lines and stormwater absorption plans.
