State Historic Preservation Office 209 Acknowledgements Staci Richey, Access Preservation, and Lydia Mattice Brandt, Ph.D., would like to thank the City of Columbia Planning and Development Office for their support. In particular, Amy Moore provided access to historic research files, Rachel Walling served as project manager, and Megan McNish provided archival maps. We would also like to thank Brad Sauls at the South Carolina State Department of Archives and History (SCDAH), for his help with project administration. Both parties were very flexible with us as we navigated this survey and the public meeting components during a world-wide pandemic and limited access to libraries and archival resources. We would also like to thank the members of the public who graciously allowed us to interview them about local history and family sites in the city. These include Dr. John Bryan, Jack Fuller Jr., Dorothy Seegers Ropp, Sewell Gelberd, and Cecily Johnson. Members of the local history and architecture community were also extremely generous with their time and knowledge. Derek Gruner, architect for the University of South Carolina, provided crucial information regarding the architects and built dates of Modern buildings on the campus. Katharine Thompson Allen, John Sherrer, and Robin Waites of Historic Columbia and Andy Chandler were also helpful. Federal grant funds from the National Park Service and the U.S. Department of the Interior (administered by the SCDAH) have in part financed the activity that is the subject of this report. However, the contents and opinions do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the Department of the Interior, nor does the mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendations by the Department of the Interior.

  • 2018-2019 the COMET Annual Report
    Central Midlands Regional Transit Authority 2018-2019 Annual Report February 14, 2020 Dear Member Agencies, In accordance with South Carolina Code of Laws, Section 58-25-70, the Central Midlands Regional Transit Authority (The COMET) hereby submits the Annual Report for the year ending June 30, 2019. Profile of the Central Midlands Regional Transit Authority Under South Carolina Code of Laws – Regional Transportation Authority Law - Title 58 – Public Utilities, Services and Carriers, a regional transportation authority may be organized in any county in South Carolina that is part of a designated regional transportation area. The COMET is a regional transportation authority formed by the governments in Richland and Lexington Counties on April 24, 2000 by the Central Midlands Council of Governments. In May 2001, The COMET Board of Directors held its first meeting. On October 16, 2002, The COMET assumed operations of the bus services provided by South Carolina Electric and Gas Company utilizing a private contractor. In August 2011, The COMET was reconstituted between Richland County, Lexington County and the Cities of Columbia and Forest Acres. A funding intergovernmental agreement was signed by Richland County, City of Columbia, City of Forest Acres and Lexington County to fund, operate and maintain public transit services in the Central Midlands area. The intergovernmental agreement took effect in July of 2013 based on receipt of new funding from Richland County for 22 years or $300,991,000, whichever comes first.

As a result, cultural resources investigations were conducted to assist the South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G) in complying with the FERC relicensing process for the Parr Hydroelectric Project. The Parr Hydroelectric Project is located in central South Carolina along the Broad River in eastern Newberry County and western Fairfield County. The project includes both the Parr Shoals Development and the Fairfield Pumped Storage Facility Development. The total project area encompasses 4,400 acres on the Broad River and its tributaries between Henderson Island to the north and Hampton Island to the south, and Monticello Reservoir. As part of the FERC relicensing process, a Phase I cultural resources survey of the Parr Hydroelectric Project was completed in 2013 and 2014. Additional Phase II archaeological investigations were conducted in 2016 at two archaeological sites, 38NE8 and 38NE10. As a result of these investigations, four resources were identified as being eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP): the Parr Shoals Development, the Fairfield Pumped Storage Facility, Lyles Ford; and archaeological site 38NE8.
