Car donations have become a popular method of giving to charities and Richland County took the practice to a different level this week when it gave a vehicle to a local university in need. 

The vision of a new neighborhood park with a walking path and garden is becoming a reality for residents in Richland County's Crane Creek community. The park is the County’s first major construction project to come from master plans developed by communities and the Neighborhood Improvement Program. The Crane Creek Pedestrian Park and Nature Center is scheduled to open in the spring.

Presentations will provide more details on Transportation Penny projects, The Comet. Event starts at 6 p.m. inside County Council chambers.
