Keowee Fire Getting New Helipad

Keowee Fire Department at Keowee Key will build a new landing pad for medical helicopters.

The helipad is made possible thanks to property donated by the Keowee Key Project and a $20,000 donation from “a very kind person.”

When the cost of relocating power lines is factored, the helipad is estimated to be around $60,000. That goal is still short of being reached, and there is no word yet on when the new helipad will be built.
