Aiken County lays out sheriff's facility as tax project priority
County officials push for a new sheriff's complex funded by the County Capital Project Sales Tax IV to replace an aging overcrowded site on Hampton Avenue. Administrators say completion by late 2022 or early 2025 is necessary as Sheriff Huet cites space limits and outdated infrastructure. The current building, a patchwork from the 1950s to 1990s, lacks room for servers and staff.
