OpportunityKershaw County is approving a 40-year Fee-in-Lieu of Taxes agreement for BRNG LLC, known as Project Ballast, tied to a planned $900 million investment and at least 15 new jobs. The FILOT locks in a 4% assessment ratio, fixed 2026 millage, and special source revenue credits to offset infrastructure-related costs for the project. This signals a major industrial development that will require site infrastructure, utilities, construction, equipment, and professional services around the new facility over the coming years.Kershaw County · Jun 23, 2026$900,000,000OpportunityThe board reviewed the draft 2026-2027 general fund budget totaling $128,033,066, with details on salary increases, security, special education, utilities, and contract services. The plan adds $3.9 million in net expenditures funded by revenue growth and a 3-mill tax increase, with specific line items for Kelly Services, county security, and rising special education compliance costs. Vendors in HR/payroll services, SPED compliance, security, utilities, and contracted services should track this as it shapes what can be funded in the coming year.Georgetown County School District · Jun 2, 2026$128,033,066OpportunityThe board reviewed a draft 2026-2027 general fund budget of $127.5 million, with line increases for salaries, insurance, utilities, fuel, security rates, special education compliance, contract services, and substitute teacher pay via Kelly Services.
