“A hotbed of activity”

There’s an interesting front-page article in this week’s Pickens County Progress newspaper. Quoting from the first paragraph, “County and city planning leaders say their building departments are going full steam ahead, with an increase in interest from people who want to move or develop in Pickens. There are currently several residential projects underway, as well as some commercial developments
and solicitations of interest.” It sounds like things are hopping in Pickens County!
