Aiken Council Advances Public Facilities Bond Plan
City officials discuss forming a City of Aiken Public Facilities Corporation to issue General Obligation bonds for future borrowings. The city would buy the project from the corporation on an installment basis, a method used by North Augusta for Riverside Village. Council approves a second reading to enter a purchase and sale with Southeastern Real Estate Group for a Public Safety building site, though Councilman Merry questions contract safeguards against delays or overruns while others defend the deal and note Southeastern's proven projects.

Aiken County considers millage hike to close budget gap
Aiken County faces roughly $2 million in deficits with staff proposing options including a $300,000 debt service shift and a small millage increase. One mill could raise $600,000, or $12 more yearly on a $150,000 home with two mills. Other items include EMS fee boosts, fire department fee changes, park hours limits, and votes on solar farm projects and development agreements. Christina Cleveland reports from Aiken.
