The Orangeburg County Council finally backed down and rejected that disastrous rezoning request. Developers tried to steamroll our neighborhood but we proved they cannot simply buy their way over our community. Stay vigilant because these greedy interests always look for a way back in.

The Orangeburg County Council keeps ignoring our concerns but this groundswell of opposition makes it impossible for them to pretend we are going away. We have built real momentum and these bureaucrats in their offices are finally starting to feel the heat.

This development request is very vague. If the developer wants to build luxury single family homes then they should only seek Residential Single Family. They are seeking Residential General and in most cases this company has seemed this refining in other areas and built trailer parks. The traffic on Riverside is already busy. There has been fatalities on the road since it is a two lane road.
The infrastructure of this area will not support the addition population burden
Please do not allow this to devalue our home. We are counting on it value to carry us into our next move, assisted living or nursing home.
This is not a low income housing neighborhood, single family homes would not Affect traffic and infrastructure as would multi-family housing
Rezoning this property, if passed, is a huge mistake. There is already entirely too much traffic in this completely residential area Adding more could very well be fatal.
Vote no to rezoning.
I am not in favor of the plans to put apartments or trailer park at the location.

I live in a Eddisto plantation. I don’t want development in this area that is going to lower home values . They are plenty enough areas in the county for low income homes.
