Lexington County’s Economic Development Department has secured an $873,000 South Carolina Rural Infrastructure Authority Economic Infrastructure Grant for the Saxe Gotha Industrial Park Wastewater Improvements Project. The total construction cost is roughly double that amount, with the required 50% local match to come from existing capital funds already allocated for this project, and Council approval is being sought to accept the award and execute the grant documents within RIA’s 45‑day window. The project will increase wastewater system capacity at Saxe Gotha Industrial Park, where recent industrial recruitment and expansion have strained existing capacity.With funding now identified but detailed design, procurement, and construction still ahead, there is a likely need for engineering, construction, inspection, controls, and potentially design‑build or CM services tied to wastewater infrastructure. Vendors with wastewater planning, design, construction, and SC RIA grant compliance expertise can position around helping the County deliver the project on time and within the grant’s requirements, as well as support industries locating or expanding in the park.

Scope is "wastewater improvements" at Saxe Gotha Industrial Park; specific delivery method or vendors are not yet named, indicating pre‑procurement design and construction opportunities.
