Raceway Resists City Annexation Push | Greenville News

Darlington, South Carolina is pushing to annex 130 businesses—including the iconic Darlington Raceway—to collect taxes and fund city services like police. The raceway is resisting, citing state law that shields professional sports teams from annexation without consent. Mayor Curtis Boyd argues fairness: the raceway used city utilities decades ago and should now pay its share. City council adds that maintaining services outside city limits costs money—and this move aims to balance the books for everyone. Businesses have six months to decide or risk losing essential utilities. Tensions are rising as the clock ticks. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
