 County cuts funding for Heritage Corridor, Heritage Jubilee, United Way 211 system web posted March 19, 2008 EDGEFIELD – With the budget debate ongoing there were some rather large losers. Among them were the Heritage Corridor, the Heritage Jubilee, and the United Way 211 system. Councilman Kitchens said though he agreed to cut the funding for the 211 system he would be interested in looking into it further and perhaps bring it back up at a later date. The Heritage Corridor has been funded with $10,000 a year for the last three years. This year the group asked for $20,000. It was decided that the county had fulfilled their promise of funding for three years and was not interested in continuing it. The same held true for the Heritage Jubilee. In the past the county had donated $1,500 a year. Chairman Kneece said the funding was provided until the festival was “on it’s feet” and he felt it was doing just fine. Piedmont Tech was also discussed saying the county had met the three-year funding agreement with them as well. The school had asked for an increase in funding and the council said they would not increase the funding and would have to look at providing anything more than what had been honored in the past. The matter would be addressed at the next work session. The 211 system pitched recently to the county was asking for $10,000 and the United Way would match the funding to implement the call resource center by “piggy-backing” on Aiken County’s 211 system. Councilman Kitchens said he was interested in the program and that he felt the three local towns needed to provide some of the funding. The funding was removed and was still under consideration. ©
