COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – Could Columbia and Richland County see a bigger skyline and a faster answer to adding big businesses to otherwise empty plots of land? City and county officials think so, and they believe a new tax incentive plan unveiled today is an answer. Apartments, offices, hotels, they say, are all in the realm of possibilities of new business coming to Columbia and Richland County.

Richland County Council Chairman Paul Livingston says this could take care of blighted, or empty properties. “If you look at a lot of the current huge sites that are very blighted and empty and have been so for 20-30 years, simply because it has not been cost-effective for persons to develop those sites,” Livingston said “30 million dollars does represent a significant investment and that’s what we want.

Residents who live near downtown like Tiffany Nettles say they are for the new plan. “Living downtown we kind of expect certain things. You expect some foot traffic and kind of a louder lifestyle. Hear a lot of ambulances, and we’re right by Segra Park and that’s just kind of the life that we’re used to and the life that we’re comfortable and we’ve chosen and just bringing in more business will have more economic development and bring more things for us to do,” resident Tiffany Nettles said.

This move would increase funding into the city and county from these properties. Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin adds that while huge public sector properties, like Fort Jackson and USC, bring in billions to the region they are not on the tax rolls. Other areas that officials say could see growth is the Bull Street District.
