N. Augusta leaders make next step in Riverside Village plans
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - On Monday, North Augusta City Council unanimously approved the first reading for the Riverside Village project.
A public hearing was held for residents to share their opinions on the Riverside Village development.
On Mar. 18, North Augusta City Council voted on the next step toward expansion at Riverside Village, which included apartments and retail spaces.
Now that the plan is approved, the new developments would be in four different areas of Riverside Village that are currently undeveloped.
Other parts of the project include adding more seats, restrooms and a boat dock to the Sharon Jones Amphitheater.
“The goal is getting these things built out so we’ll be able to have a fully done Riverside Village is what the city’s wanted since 2017,” said Mayor Britton Williams.
Some residents on Facebook say it’s not what everyone wants.
One commenter says: “Apartments are gonna ruin it, we need to be building businesses and houses.”
While another says: “All these new apartments coming to North Augusta concerns me.”
