County Visitor's Center eyes move to ADA compliant Holley Building
Aiken County tourism coordinator Robbie Bellamy urged the Development Committee to relocate the Visitor's Center from its second floor 902 Richland Ave. site deemed inaccessible and dilapidated. The proposed first floor 1000 square foot Holley Building space on Laurens Street would cost 1318 per month from the accommodations tax fund and offer ADA access and greater visibility, with a planned gift shop to offset rent. The county council will consider a resolution next month.
