City funding stormwater projects approved by council
The Aiken City Council unanimously voted to borrow 2 million dollars from the general fund to finance stormwater work on Dibble Road Hitchcock Woods Rollingwood Road and a joint project with Aiken County in Wise Hollow. The move will save about 30 thousand dollars versus issuing a bond and will generate general fund revenue as the utility pays interest on the loan. On June 1 the city will transfer 500 thousand from holding funds to the new stormwater utility fund for other projects. The council also upheld a Planning Commission decision allowing Houndslake Corporation to subdivide a lot for sale in a development dispute raised by Harold Dixon. Peggy Penland defended the company stating the plat was filed in error and no intent to develop the golf course exists.
