Anderson, SC – Anderson Rotary Club dedicated the first of six bus shelters around the city of Anderson on Tuesday, September 15^th on County Home Road in front of the SC Vocational Rehabilitation Center off Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Anderson Rotary Club has committed to funding 6 shelters total around the city. The timeframe for completion is ongoing and will continue as funds are raised. One shelter cost $5600. The cost to the Club is $1200 per shelter. Anderson Rotary is funding the project as part of a matching Federal grant that pays 80% of the total cost for a single shelter.  The original idea of the project came from Anderson City Councilman, Rick Laughridge who passed the idea on the Anderson Rotary Club.
