Palmetto Parkway touted as economic boon for county
The Palmetto Parkway is expected to boost western Aiken County through improved interstate access. A $4 million earmark for Phase 2 appears in a U.S. House bill, linking the Bobby Jones Expressway to I-20. Phase 1 progresses as the Bobby Jones Expressway crosses the Savannah River near the Aiken Augusta corridor. The project aims to attract business and provide airport access via Augusta while enabling future rapid reach to I-20.

Enola Gay II and the NASM exhibit controversy
Critics challenge the Enola Gay exhibit plan at NASA’s Udvar-Hazy Center arguing it sanitizes history. NASA refused to glorify or vilify atomic bombing, while archival debates revive in 1994 95 with prior Enola Gay controversy and editorials by Air Force Magazine.
