Native makes list of Top 40 under 40 in Georgia Trend
Former Aiken resident Frank Pendergast is among Georgia Trend magazine's Top 40 under 40. The entrepreneur revitalized downtown Milledgeville Georgia, buying and rehabbing 12 buildings over 16 years and creating more than 100 jobs while preserving historic details. He moved to Milledgeville in 1993 and opened The Brick, a pizza restaurant, amid 60 percent vacancies now at about 95 percent occupancy. He emphasizes renting to tenants who benefit the district and notes teachers at Aiken High School would be surprised by his journey.

NNSA says MOX progress lines up with safety goals
NNSA administrator Thomas P. D Agostino said the MOX facility shows progress at Savannah River Site despite four level IV violations cited in a recent NRC inspection. He noted strong NRC support and stressed the system works, while acknowledging minor paperwork issues and ongoing interest from multiple potential customers for the fuel. The project aims to convert weapons plutonium into MOX fuel with production expected around 2016, with a 20 year license and facilities operating into the 2020s.
