The council gave us the final approval today and Project Jackson is officially moving forward. I have spent years dreaming of a revitalized riverfront for our families and it feels surreal to finally see that work begin. Thank you for believing in this vision alongside me.
We urge local government, The Aiken County School Board; The Aiken County Council; and The City Council of North Augusta, to approve Project Jackson. We think that the $150 Million public-private investment in Project Jackson will benefit the Citizens of North Augusta by:
1: Creating a vibrant Downtown and Riverfront Entertainment District.
2. Creating both a significant number of construction jobs (2,700 over the 3 year development period) and permanent jobs (projected at 1030.).
3. Significantly expanding the tax base both in the remaining areas of Hammonds Ferry and throughout the Downtown Development Corridor.
Seeing the momentum grow for Project Jackson feels incredible because I know how much this development will change the future for families in North Augusta. The scale of this support proves that our community is ready to embrace a vibrant downtown and the jobs that come with it.

My family watches the counter climb toward that first hundred and it reminds me why I started this fight for our city. Please send this link to your neighbors so we can hit this milestone before the council meeting begins.

Long overdue. The construction jobs alone are enough reason to get this moving right away.

ABSOLUTELY. The riverfront is a disaster right now and this is exactly what we need to bring some life back into the city.

Finally some progress. Hammonds Ferry looks great and this is the next step to making the whole place a destination.
