Access road funding voted Friday

A way has now been assured to access the industrial park entrance road from the campuses of new education facilities to be built at the Oconee Industrial and Technology Park on highway 11.  Construction of the Tri-County Tech campus is already underway there.  On Friday, the board of the South Carolina Appalachian Council of Governments signed off on $1.245 million dollars for the access road.  And Richard Blackwell of the Oconee Economic Alliance says he is grateful to the leadership shown by Edda Cammick, an Oconee Member of the “A-COG” Board, for helping secure the grant.
