Aiken Corporation Expands Role in Downtown Redevelopment
Wade Brodie, chairman, credits Aiken Downtown Development Association and the Aiken Corporation with visible civic gains. The ADDA spurred street scape improvements and the Aiken 2020 Campaign raised 3.5 million dollars for development education and local projects. The Aiken Corporation aims to foster industrial growth, preserve town amenities, and oversee property negotiations including Highland Park and Park Avenue. Debates at a city council session focused on a two hour parking limit and depot restoration projected at about 3 million dollars for a rentable events space.
