Here’s to another great month of entrepreneurship in Anderson!

Thank you to Robyn Knox for speaking at BYOB about finding balance and preventing burnout, and to Dr. Giovani Calise for hosting a four-week series on building strong marketing campaigns with intentionality!

We’ll see you next month for The Brew on November 18 from 8–9 AM, featuring Chris and Justine from One Peak Pest Control. Please note the date change, as this meeting will take place outside of our usual schedule on the last Wednesday of the month.

We hope to see you there!

The Anderson Police Department extends its sincere appreciation to South Carolina State Representative Don Chapman for his support in securing funding for a new Lenco BearCat armored vehicle from the South Carolina State Legislature.

The ceremonial check was presented during the City of Anderson City Council meeting, where Council approved the purchase of the BearCat using the secured funding.

The BearCat will provide our SWAT team with enhanced ballistic protection during high-risk incidents and rescue missions, helping protect both our officers and the citizens we serve. With our SWAT team responding to an average of 24 critical incidents each year, this vehicle will be a valuable addition to our public safety resources.

Thank you, Representative Chapman, for your support and commitment to keeping our officers and community safe!

Helicopter activity expected near Tribble Street this week!

As part of planned upgrades to the Tribble Street substation, Duke Energy will be using a helicopter on Tuesday, October 27, to install new utility poles near the intersection of Tribble Street and Murray Avenue.

Residents and businesses in the surrounding area may notice a helicopter flying at low altitudes during the installation. This activity is planned and part of ongoing improvements to local electrical infrastructure. No power interruptions are anticipated during the project.

To safely accommodate the work, the following roads will be closed during daytime hours October 26–28, with October 29 reserved if additional time is needed:

• Glenn Street from Railroad Street to King Street
• Tribble Street from Murray Avenue to Bleckley Street

Closures are expected to last until approximately 5 PM each day.

We appreciate your patience as Duke Energy completes these improvements!
