City avoids property tax hike after budget shortfall
Aiken County reports 33 percent of property values fell with declines centered in Aiken City’s historic district Woodside and Houndslake. City staff rejected raising millage to cover the gap, opting for budget adjustments and a tax cut instead. Council votes cover lease changes with AT&T Mobilitie approvals and raises fines for returning empty roll carts and yard trash code amendments. Dan Brown reports.
