The Pelzer Heritage Committee (PHC) has recently partnered with Anderson County to work on a Master Plan that will be used to market the old mill properties for redevelopment.
According to PHC President Larry Coker, Anderson County officials recently met with members of the PHC and are in discussions with Greenville Water Works about running a 12 inch water main across the lower mill properties.
Anderson County Administrator Rusty Burns offered to have county attorneys handle details with Greenville Water.
“We agreed to vote on letting Rusty Burns and their attorneys handle the situation and protect our property for redevelopment,” Coker said.
Coker said the County also offered to take over all our mill properties, do a Master Plan on the properties and help market the properties for redevelopment. “All the profits from these sales would go to the Pelzer Heritage Commission,” Coker said. “It was a no brainer for us and we voted unanimously to partner with the County.”
