• Richland County high-density housing plan withdrawn amid resident concerns (wltx.com) — A controversial high-density rezoning proposal just outside Blythewood has been withdrawn, easing worries for nearby Richland County residents about traffic, infrastructure strain, and safety. Neighbors say they chose the area for its rural feel and feared the 150-unit project and mixed-use zoning would overwhelm local roads and services, especially without municipal police coverage.
