📰 News we're reading

1. 'A little bit of money helps': Florence County moves to spread funds across small towns, agencies (postandcourier.com) — Florence County Council has approved a new policy to share 10% of future fee-in-lieu-of-tax revenues with small towns, school districts, fire and rescue agencies, and the city of Florence. Over time, that could mean thousands of extra dollars annually for places like Lake City, Johnsonville, Pamplico, Florence School Districts 2, 3 and 5, and Florence Regional Airport, helping ease operating costs after several communities needed county financial help.
   

2. City Center Farmers Market opens new opportunities for South Carolina producers and artisans (florencenewsjournal.com) — Downtown Florence’s City Center Farmers Market is actively recruiting new South Carolina farmers, food producers, and artisans for its year-round Saturday market at 200 Sanborn Street. With low vendor fees, provided tents and tables, and strong city promotion, the market doubles as a community gathering spot and small-business incubator, supporting Florence’s broader downtown renewal and local food initiative.
   

3. Florence police remind parents of curfew for teens as summer begins (256today.com) — Florence police are stepping up enforcement of the long-standing 10 p.m. curfew for anyone under 16 within the city, citing more late-night teen gatherings in public areas. Parents are urged to closely track their children’s whereabouts, companions, and return times, as the ordinance applies to all minors in Florence, even those visiting from outside the city.
   

4. Quirky Hidden Town in South Carolina You Need To Visit (onlyinyourstate.com) — Just a short drive from Florence, Lake City in Florence County offers a surprising mix of public art, small-town charm, and year-round attractions. From the ArtFields-inspired murals to Moore Farms Botanical Garden and the McNair Memorial Park, it’s pitched as a worthwhile day trip for residents looking to explore their own backyard.
