Anderson County county on Tuesday night passed, on second reading, the proposed revisions to county voting redistricting map, based on the 2020 United States Census. A detailed, zoomable version of the map is here.
Also on Tuesday night, council:
Approved moving ahead on the new project on the Equinox Mill property by allowing the developer to apply for funds on property previously used as a textile mill.
Approved, on second reading, an ordinance to establish a set time frame for consideration of previously disapproved projects by the Planning Commission to prevent developers from asking for projects which have been rejected immediately after being denied.
Approved a resolution to begin the process to allow Hope Missions of the Upstate to lease a larger portion of the old health department building on Tower Street. The ministry currently uses the back part of the building to serve the needs of the homeless and under served downtown with food, clothing and other community building work.
Anderson County Council also passed a resolution to proclaim February of 2022 as Black History Month in Anderson County. A series of events and programs will be planned to honor those citizens who have made a differnce in Anderson County.
