Mayor: New Housing a Historic Move for Pelzer

Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer

It’s big news for the City of Pelzer. The town of 1,400 citizens is about to see major growth.

For the first time in more than a century a major housing development will bring more than 100 houses to town. Work in under way for Courtney Park, which will bring 125 houses and 18 town homes.

“People are finding out what we already know, this is a great place to live,” said Pelzer Mayor Will Ragland, who added that people are moving to his town from all over the country.

In addition to the housing, rezoning of parks, recreation improvements, progress on upfitting historical buildings and the 10th anniversary of the Mill Town Players highlight news from the town moving into summer.

Ragland updates these stories and more in this interview with the Anderson Observer.
