Aiken Council OKs $292,740 in C funds for road paving projects
Summary
Council approved a budget amendment reallocating $292,740 in state C funds for local road paving, listing streets to be paved including Governors Lane, Ascot Drive and Spencer Road. Council approved second reading unanimously.
The Aiken City Council on Nov. 24 approved an ordinance amending the fiscal year 2025–26 budget to allocate $292,740 in C funds from the South Carolina Department of Transportation for local road paving.
City staff explained these state-allocated "C funds" are distributed through the County Transportation Committee and are intended for local road projects. The listed streets to be paved include Governors Lane, Ascot Drive, Spencer Road, Reed Drive, Jahasse Drive, Northland Boulevard and Whitehall Place.
A council member representing the district that includes Governors Lane thanked residents for patience during prior delays related to hurricane damage and noted that the project was completed earlier in the year. Council approved the ordinance on second reading; the transcript records the vote as unanimous by voice vote.
Why it matters: The allocation directs a defined pool of state transportation money to specific local pavement projects and adjusts the city budget to reflect the award.
Next steps: City staff will proceed with contracting and scheduling pavement work per procurement rules and project timelines.
