A tragic house fire on April 4 in Rock Hill killed 43-year-old Sammylee Roseborough and his 9-year-old daughter Simiya when the fire started in the kitchen of their home on Deas Street near Cherry Road — firefighters came at 7:30 a.m. but the house was already burning— and police are checking the cause.

Today Business Rock Hill reported on 250 acres of land with a strong potential for development in the City.

The podcast explained the property’s scope and possible benefits for local business — a subject that could shape Rock Hill's future growth.

Rock Hill will host the York County Underexposed Film Festival for its 11th season from April 24-26.

York County Council approved design work for eight Pennies For Progress road projects that voters approved in November—on January 21 the Council backed a $20 million loan to begin work early since tax funds will not come in until October.

Staff is working with SCDOT to bid about $15 million in road resurfacing projects that will start later this year, and the loan will be repaid over three years from future tax revenues.

York County Council voted 4-3 to raise new impact fees by $11,000, increasing the charge to $29,640 for single-family homes & $20,796 for apartment units to fund facility construction for the Fort Mill School District.

Burke said the fees helped fund the district’s sixth middle school, a new early childhood center & updates to its 10-year facility plan while keeping property taxes stable.

York County Council voted 5-2 to switch ambulance services from Fort Mill EMS to Atrium Health to boost emergency care — the change is set to cut response times as the county grows.
