Sanders seeks flood elevation changes for North Augusta land
Former Georgia governor Carl Sanders funds an engineering study of his Savannah River property on the South Carolina side to obtain updated flood elevations. The goal is to adjust floodplain boundaries, potentially unlocking development, lowering bridge costs, and boosting tax value for Aiken County and North Augusta. The 7000 feet of river frontage could open thousands of acres for industry housing or recreation if elevations are reset.
