Home Care In Lancaster, SC

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo announced the Department’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) is awarding a $3.1 million grant to the city of Lancaster, South Carolina, for water infrastructure improvements.

This grant will provide increased water and sewer access to local businesses and first responders in downtown Lancaster. This EDA investment will be matched with $768,600 in local funds.

“The Biden-Harris Administration knows that infrastructure is key to building an economy that works for all Americans and helps every community grow,” said Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. “This EDA investment will help ensure that Lancaster has the resources necessary to create modern and sustainable infrastructure that will support local businesses and create good-paying jobs in the region.”

“The Economic Development Administration plays an important role in supporting locally driven disaster recovery and resiliency plans,” said Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development Alejandra Y. Castillo. “This EDA investment will improve critical public infrastructure for major industries located in Lancaster, creating a stronger regional economy.”

“I am grateful to the EDA for awarding this grant to the fantastic town of Lancaster! I know this grant will be put to great use in the community, strengthening the local economy, growing small businesses, and creating jobs,” said Representative Ralph Norman (SC-05). “I am looking forward to watching Lancaster continue to excel!”

This project was made possible by the regional planning efforts led by the Catawba Regional Council of Governments (COG). EDA funds COG to bring together the public and private sectors to create an economic development roadmap to strengthen the regional economy, support private capital investment and create jobs.

This project is funded under the Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2023, which provided EDA with $483 million in additional Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) Program funds for disaster relief and recovery for areas that received a major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Act as a result of Hurricanes Ian and Fiona, wildfires, flooding, and other natural disasters occurring in calendar years 2021 and 2022.

From Indian Land to Kershaw, growth is on full display in Lancaster County.

LANCASTER, S.C. — It's often noted that about 100 people move to Charlotte every day, but the Queen City isn't the only area seeing growth.

Surrounding counties, cities, and towns are also seeing a surge of people moving in.

Lancaster, South Carolina is one of them with several major housing developments on the way.

Recent census data shows the city has a population of more than 8,800.

But, Alize Thomas, a city spokeswoman, said growth from Charlotte is bringing new life.

“All these years I've heard, you know, we're just a slow little town and all this, but now it's like, fastly moving," Thomas said. “Right now, we have three huge subdivisions happening right here in the city of Lancaster.”

She said one project will bring around 280 homes to University Drive off Charlotte Highway with construction expected to begin next spring.

Then, minutes away, near the Arrowood subdivision, 250 homes are expected. Developers are working through the approval process and hoping to have it underway next year, according to Thomas.

Also, behind Applebee's off Highway 9 bypass, Thomas said, dozens of additional homes are on the way.

"It's just the beginning for Lancaster and even the county," Thomas said.

From Indian Land to Kershaw, County Administrator Dennis Marstall said there's a lot in the works.

"Where the new Duke Energy whitewater center is between here and Great Falls, there's going to be over 400 units there," Marstall said, "There's even a talk for larger track of maybe up to over 1000 units. So, we have growth county wide.”

Nicholas Turbyfill lives in Lancaster and helps manage 521 BBQ & Grill downtown. He believes the developments will be good for the city and the restaurants bottom line.

"It’ll help out the economy a lot," Turbyfill said. "It’ll help everything build, you know? Just have more business going. In a town that’s really thriving for it.”

To accommodate the growth, the city said it's looking at ways to fix roads, improve traffic, and add to quality of life, including enhancing the greenway.

INDIAN LAND, S.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — In 2025, a proposed Target will sit across the street from the YMCA in Crossridge Center.

Not only will Target bring retail shopping and jobs to a growing part of Lancaster County, but it’ll also bring extra traffic with it. County leaders say they have a plan that will mitigate travel time on U.S. 521.

Constance Reid says she’s seen an increase in the four years she’s been in the area.

“To get the kids to school and back, it’s about 9 or 10 minutes, give or take. But what we usually do, if there’s more traffic or depending on what time we’re leaving so that we can miss it, we’ll cut through the neighborhood and go the back way and avoid it, and that we’ll shave off maybe a minute or so,” Reid said.

The proposed Target will take up about 15 acres of land and it’ll sit across the street from the YMCA. The initial site plan shows a Costco, multifamily housing, and a target in four construction phases.

It also calls for nearly 800 spaces for parking. Their independent traffic analysis shows it will eventually bring about 26,000 passing cars daily.

“It’s a constant conversation to make sure that our infrastructure is keeping up with our growth,” said County Administrator Dennis Marstall.

County officials are discussing a comprehensive road program that features road priorities and funding strategies.

“Our congestion point is in our highway 521 coming straight out of Ballantyne. So we have had an initial preliminary study doing eight miles from the North Carolina border, down through 521 in the Indian Land area for eight miles. And so, there’s a proposal to widen 521 one lane in each direction,” Marstall said.

The county has about $9 million in current, voter-approved road projects through the capital progressive penny tax. Marstall says officials plan to add another $7 million to that.

“They’re going to put out the bid within the next six months. And then, during the six months, we’re going to have a community conversation about dedicated transportation funding to make a lot of road improvements over the next 20 years,” Marstall said.

Despite the possible traffic headache, Reid is excited for the retail giant to come to Indian Land.

“There are two targets that are probably about four miles away, but they are within about a mile of each other. They don’t need to be that close while out here. We’ve got some really good retail choices, but a target I think is appropriate for the area,” Reid said.

Marstall says they are preparing a full-fledged plan complete with extra engineering work that will be presented during a community conversation within the next six months.
