Revenue bonds give Aiken County road project relief
Aiken County Council considered borrowing up to 54.6 million dollars using a revenue bond to fund all ballot listed road projects at once. The plan, endorsed unanimously, would front the funds with anticipated one cent sales tax revenues, reducing inflation risk and potentially saving taxpayers by completing work now rather than over seven years. The move aims to settle lawsuits over allocations and quell debate over the sales tax issue.
