Augusta seeks state support to fix S C 25 as traffic lags
Augusta pushes for upgrades to S C 25 to join the north south tourist corridor. State priority is low as SC 25 near Greenwood to Greenville carries 3400 vehicles daily while Edgefield to Greenwood sees 1200. The Augusta Tomorrow plan by American City Corp costs 120000. Steve Szablewski notes limited county reach.
