The proposed shelter would cost an estimated $1.25 million to $1.75 million and might occupy county-owned land on Pageland Highway near the farmers market. 

Lancaster County Council member Larry Honeycutt, chair of the Infrastructure & Regulation Committee, said building a new shelter has been put off long enough.

Lancaster High senior defensive linemen Blake Payne and Rodrick Johnson are in the “step-up” mode at this point in the Bruins’ season.
Payne, a two-year starter at defensive end, and Johnson, a four-year starter at tackle, had their roles enhanced with the loss of senior star Markees Watts with a season-ending ACL injury early in the Bruins’ opener with Indian Land.
Lancaster won the game, but lost the star defender, a two-time Region III-AAAA and Tri-County Coaches Association Defensive Player of the Year.
