City of North Augusta Council Study Session 07/13/2026
Published: Jul 13, 2026
North Augusta Council Approves Annexation for New Development Roadway
The city council reviewed ordinance number 2026-13 for the second reading, concerning the annexation of approximately 0.16 acres of property located off Lake Greenwood Drive, owned by The Lakes LLC. This annexation is to accommodate a new development's connecting roadway within the city limits of North Augusta. The council had previously voted once to approve the annexation, and this was the final reading.
North Augusta Clarifies Golf Cart Parking Funding; Center Street Improvements Discussed Separately
Councilman John's email regarding proposed expenditures for golf cart parking was addressed. It was clarified that there have been no city funds expended for the temporary golf cart parking at Parcel D, which is on property leased from Greenstone. Any improvements made were temporary control measures from existing inventory. A separate presentation by JD (presumably Mr. McCauley) outlined potential future safety improvements for Center Street, which could include pedestrian safety measures and potentially golf cart parking, but these are separate from the current temporary parking arrangement and would require council debate and approval. Some proposed costs mentioned in the email, such as tree grates ($90,000), installation ($18,000), and bollards ($42,000), were associated with these future safety and aesthetic improvements for Center Street, not solely for golf cart parking.
North Augusta Approves Revised Accommodations Tax Fund Disbursement, Allocating Funds for Living History Park Water Wheel
The council reviewed Resolution number 2026-37, authorizing a revised request for awarded allocation of the Accommodations Tax Advisory Committee for the disbursement of revenues from the 2023-24 accommodations tax funding program. The recommendation for change is due to funds that were not expected to be covered but were, and the money needs to be spent by the end of the year to avoid being lost. A specific project mentioned for investment is the water wheel at the Living History Park, which requires additional funds for repairs despite donated labor.

The city had reapplied for the grant after an initial application was not successful.
