Residents are encouraged to join in the new “Richland County Photo of the Week” campaign by submitting their favorite photos of people, places and events from across the County.

It was 85 years ago this week that a crowd of 15,000 South Carolinians gathered along the grassy runways of Municipal Airport Owens Field and celebrated the dedication of their new airport, which continues to be a community cornerstone today.

Richland County Development Services has performed a major about-face recently, transforming itself into a top-tier, customer service-based entity that is drawing accolades from around the country.

Richland County will celebrate a technology milestone May 13 when it is officially recognized as the nation’s first “Certified Connected” capital county.

The highlight of a series of events organized by Richland County Community Development this week was the celebration of a new affordable housing duplex that two local families will soon call home.
