Dorchester County Council has approved a new improvement district for Ridgeville that lets the town charge a fee on new development inside the district to pay for roads, sidewalks, and improvements including work on Highway 27. Council Chairman David Chinnis expects the county to use more districts like it to fund growth.
Why this matters here
This is a new line item for anyone building or expanding in Ridgeville, and the chairman says the model will spread across the county. Owners planning a new location in Dorchester County should ask about district fees before they price the project.
