Clemson City Council Advances Highway 93 Commercial Rezoning and Approves $5.2M Sewer Infrastructure Upgrade

Clemson leaders moved forward with plans to reshape commercial development along S.C. Highway 93 by passing initial approvals to rezone 23 parcels—spanning nearly 14 acres—into community business districts tailored to minimize neighborhood traffic, despite a single vote against the change over displacement and property value concerns. Alongside a separate unanimous vote to convert the 1.33-acre Clemson Motel site near the city boundary to a business zone, council members also authorized a $5.2 million USDA-financed infrastructure contract with Don Moorhead Construction, Inc. to replace aging sewer mains and construct new pump stations.
