LANCASTER COUNTY, S.C. — Lancaster County is scaling back its plans for a nearly $1 million road project that would benefit less than two dozen homes.

According to the Herald, Indian Land residents on the dead-end road, Rise Lane, were promised it would be widened years ago.

The project was going to cost $900,000 for 17 homes.

Now, the county council voted to focus on two alternative options to reduce costs. One of which would widen the road by two feet.
