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.
