• Resolution certifying abandoned buildings under the South Carolina Abandoned Buildings Revitalization Act (South Carolina Code 12-7-100) for properties at 215, 217 and 219 South Main Street — Council approved certification so the developer may apply for state income tax credits; staff noted the city’s role is limited to certifying abandonment.
