Handwashing, food temperature issues cited at Anderson County restaurants

Four Anderson County food establishments fell below the "78" score threshold for a "C" rating in October 2026 restaurant inspection reports, according to the South Carolina Department of Agriculture.

In our coverage of food inspections around Anderson County, we categorize violations into two types: priority and priority foundation. Priority violations are those that pose the highest risk of causing foodborne illness and identify contributing factors that could lead to illness.

Greenville city sues developer of swanky McDaniel townhomes. The Swamp Rabbit Trail is one reason.

GREENVILLE — The McDaniel, the upscale townhome project in suspended animation that for a year has been under legal siege by an array of contractors, now has a new adversary: the city of Greenville. The city’s chief beef is its claim that the developer who promised luxury living unprecedented in Greenville has instead mismanaged the project to the point that plans for a new extension to the Swamp Rabbit Trail have been sullied. The city is not only demanding compensation but also financial punishment. In 2024, a year after it was announced, work abruptly stopped on the second phase of The McDa...

Water flowing down from tank explained

A picture depicts water flowing down from a Westminster water tower, and there is an explanation. It’s the elevated Main Street tank – the one that carries an apple logo. Kevin Bronson, city administrator, says, “As city crews and contractors were working on installation and testing our new SCADA system (an electronic, remote monitoring system) the tank filled above its upper blow off valve causing the top blow off valve to release the excess water. While it may have looked a bit dramatic, the blow off functioned as it was designed to do. Once the new SCADA system is fine-tuned, we shouldn’t see that again.”

Pickens County pumps brakes on data center development

Pickens County Council unanimously approved the first reading of a proposed six-month moratorium on new data center development Nov. 2, giving county officials time to study how the rapidly growing industry could affect the county and what regulations may be needed before projects move forward. The ordinance, identified as No. 694, would temporarily pause data center development while county leaders evaluate zoning, infrastructure and land-use considerations related to the facilities. The proposal advanced by unanimous vote, with all council members present voting in favor of a first reading. The main topic of the first reading was the county council's desire to make Pickens County a safe area from the environmental risks posed by a data center. "I see it more as giving people peace of mind," Council Chair Alex Saitta said. "I don't support them, I'm not going to vote for one, and I wouldn't imagine the majority up here won't." The vote comes weeks after county officials publicly acknowledged that a real estate agent put in an inquiry to the county to gauge its interest in hosting a data center. During an Oct. 5 council meeting, County Administrator Ken Roper said a developer had inquired about Pickens County's "appetite
