Supremacy Clause Costs County in Tax Bill Dispute
Aiken County loses tax revenue to the Savannah River Plant under the Supremacy Clause. The SRP, with about 66,665 acres, pays a gratuity yearly, this year just over $59,000, while SCE&G pays over $1 million on $85 million assessed property. Officials note the true SRP value exceeds $1.3 billion, mostly in Barnwell County. Final ordinance readings loom as County Council weighs the unusual tax arrangement.
