FROM
THE
EDITOR
AS WE COVER North Augusta more and more, you’ll
notice less and less of an “us vs. them” attitude in our pages.
In a more regional view of the area, the new GreenJackets
ballpark is certainly going to be a boon to both cities
straddling the Savannah River, and we are excited to see
all the additional growth and opportunity this burgeoning
project affords. It’s true that the Metro Spirit is an Augusta
newspaper, which reached out into Columbia County years
ago when the growth hit. The same is now true for North
Augusta. With growth comes interest and interesting news
stories.
We sometimes fall into the trap of “us vs. them” in our
coverage of Columbia County vs. Richmond County. We
may even find the same to be true with North Augusta-
Aiken County vs. Richmond County and Columbia County.
But what we feel is far more important is the rising water
raising boats we are all in. The Savannah River is not a
divider. It’s an asset to the entire region.
We hope you enjoy the article on Project Jackson as well
as the Jack-O-Lantern Jubilee. Hopefully, you can find
time to shoot across the river for the 33rd annual holiday
get-together and get a taste of what we can expect in the
coming years. As each municipality picks up steam and
contributes their own flavors to the quality of life in the
CSRA, we’re able to access many more options.
It’s always good to have options.
