Pendleton Continues Exponential Growth

Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer

The fastest growing town in Anderson County is showing no signs of slowing down.

Progress and expansion is booming in Pendleton. Both in the historic downtown area and the section of town along U.S. 76, new housing, businesses, walkability amenities and other improvements are evident.

Cleanup and the development of the old Pendleton Oil Mill is under way, with the property scheduled to be cleanup by summer of 2024. The Cheney Mill planned community is finishing environmental studies and construction should begin soon. The revitalization of the west side of downtown along West Queen street, with extended sidewalks and new lighting is under way. New parking for downtown will also soon be in place.

Mayor Frank Crenshaw offered updates on these projects and upcoming events in this interview with the Anderson Observer.
