MOX project in South Carolina stalls after decades of cost overruns
Aiken Standard reports on the MOX program, detailing how the U S government spent about 8 billion dollars to build a fuel fabrication facility near Aiken that was never completed. Protests from South Carolina lawmakers and repeated congressional indecision left a large plutonium stockpile at the site and delayed disposal of dangerous material. The project’s future remains uncertain as construction workers were sent home and critics question the cost and feasibility.

Aiken hospital site plan reshaped with more surface parking
Redevelopment plans for the old Aiken County hospital property have changed with a redesign of the neighboring parcel. The previously proposed four floor parking garage on Vaucluse Road is removed in favor of 195 surface spaces, bringing total parking to nearly 600. The Hitchcock Hotel and conference center look unchanged, and a Planning Commission hearing is set for October 38. City officials consider a WTC Investments partnership as the county sale, valued at 1.1 million, nears closure, may generate a 240 million economic impact over 20 years.
