Northside growth drives Aiken’s new leadership focus
As Aiken transitions to a new City Manager and mayor, attention remains fixed on Northside projects. The William Clyburn Center opens, a 1 percent sales tax advances a new Aiken High School, and Eustis Park targets a senior youth center with a 400 seat banquet room. Council moves on real estate deals, hospitality tax revenue supports broad investment, and Northside resources aim for balanced community growth.
