York County Council Approves Street Extension

York County Council took another step in approving the plans for Dave Lyle Boulevard extension. The project has been on hold because of problems securing money to pay for it. Business and development leaders have been pushing to have the extension completed. Approved guidelines will give the county some control over how the land is developed. The new road would bring lots of opportunity for development for the city of Rock Hill and York County.

York County recognized nationally

The Riverwalk planned development and the world-class cycling center has helped Rock Hill be chosen as a "showcase city" by the National League of Cities. Rock Hill was featured  in the economic development category. The project has helped to create local jobs and support local business through the development. It includes 1,000 acres and costs over $600 million. It is not expected to be completed for 20 years, but the cycling center will be open next year. The velodrome will bring lots of attention to York county. The development is a public-private partnership between the city and the developer and is expected to create thousands of jobs once completed.
