Aiken’s publicization transforms downtown thriving again
In Aiken South Carolina citizens used a public private renewal plan called publicization to revitalize the downtown without disrupting business. The city managed the project with private contractors and public workers including inmate labor for landscaping. The result is a thriving district with new shops and restaurants and about $100 000 saved per block, earning a Taxpayers Watchdog Award last month.
