OC Council welcomes College Housing Development

The Oconee County Council welcomes a developer to build a housing development designed for college students at the eastern end of the county near the campus of Clemson University. Tuesday night the council approved on first reading an ordinance and passed a resolution for a fee-in-place-of tax agreement and special source credits for the developer who will not be identified until the ordinance receives final reading next month. The lack of available land for development close to Clemson University as well as constraints on the city’s sewer system have developers looking to adjoining areas, such as Oconee County.
