Shortly before 10pm last night, the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for north central York County SC according to the details in a Rock Hill Herald article this morning. We heard the warning sirens go off in the Fort Mill – Tega Cay Area. Fortunately for the Fort Mill area, the storm weakened by the time it approached our area. Folks were not so lucky in the Clover area. So what should you do when you hear the sirens?

York County Office of Emergency Management states on their website to tune into local radio stations for York County which are AM Station WRHI – 1340 and FM Stations WRHM – 107.9 and WRHI – 94.3.  During the regularly scheduled tests, the sirens are activated for one 3-minute cycle. During a real emergency, the sirens will (more…)

York County will begin mailing “Notice of Assessment” letters to York County SC property owners this month. Your property is reassessed every 5 years or sooner if you make improvements or transfer (buy) property. The last County 5 year reassessment was in 2006. There is a good chance your home value in Fort Mill, Rock Hill, Tega Cay, Lake Wylie, Clover, etc will show an increase this year.

What? My property re-assessment notice from York County may show an increase this year? I thought homes have decreased in value in the last couple years! So why the higher property assessment values this year? (more…)

Last Thursday March 24th, 2011, Toronto based Mood Media announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Muzak Holdings LLC (“Muzak”), a privately-held company based in Fort Mill SC, for 345 million.

Muzak, which started in 1934 playing phonograph records for hotels and restaurants, currently delivers its product to subscribers over satellite radio. Muzak relocated to Fort Mill SC in 2000 from Seattle. The company filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February 2009 and then successfully emerged from bankruptcy last year after restructuring its debt.

Mood Media uses an Internet-based delivery system and operates an international in-store media and music retail business with an extensive geographic footprint and a broad client base including several multinational blue chip organizations. (more…)



As you are driving around York County, you may see from time to time a re-zoning hearing sign posted on undeveloped property.  I happened to see a re-zoning hearing sign on the corner of Pleasant road and Carowinds Blvd.  I thought it would be of interest to see what was posted online at the York County govt website about the zoning hearing.

It would appear that QuickTrip, a convenience store/gas station company,  needs to rezone the parcel to be able to build and operate their type of  business on the property. Here is the online information:

On April 4th 2011 The York County Planning Commission will hold a hearing for the following re-zoning request
