Pedestrians with physical limitations should find it easier to get around in Richland County, with construction complete on a group of safety improvement projects.

Richland County Government offices will close Thursday, Nov. 28 and Friday, Nov. 29 in observance of Thanksgiving.

Richland County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) again is responding to the call to help disadvantaged children during the holiday season and is seeking help from the community to “Stuff an Ambulance” with unwrapped toys, blankets, book bags and more.

Progress continues on Richland County Transportation’s widening project on North Main Street.

Residents interested in connecting to County utilities through the Southeast Richland Water and Sewer Project have until Dec. 16 to sign up for services and avoid fees to tap into the system before construction begins.
