One of eight Failing South Carolina National Guard armories

[Disir]

“We were bringing soldiers back from Afghanistan and Iraq to facilities that were worse here than they were in a combat zone,” said S.C. Adjutant General Bob Livingston, who leads the Guard

It would take $29.7 million to pay for overdue maintenance at the state’s almost 70 armories, including Greenwood. But the Guard does not have the money needed.

Statewide, the armories are just a small part of a much bigger problem — expensive repairs needed at colleges, office buildings and mental-health facilities. As S.C. lawmakers debate how to pay to repair the state’s crumbling roads – a unfunded repair job that carries a price tag of up to $1.5 billion a year – paying to repair deteriorating buildings looms as one of the state’s next $200 million-plus problems.

....Since being elected in 2010, Adjutant General Livingston has chipped away at the deferred maintenance needs at state armories.

The estimated cost of overdue repairs at those armories — $29.7 million — is down from $37 million in 2011, in part because of the consolidation of armories.

The state now has fewer than 70 armories. That is down from more than 100 roughly 10 years ago, Livingston said, and the plan is to cut that number to 55 over the next five to 10 years.

Part of the cost of the armory repairs could be paid by the federal government. But to get federal money there must be matching state money. However, with the state’s budget just returning to pre-recession levels and other needs — from road repairs to K-12 funding to health care — competing for state money, matching money for armories is in short supply.

Lol, no the problem is our government is becoming liberal. We are investing hundreds of millions of dollars on walking trails. Instead of maintaining what we got first. Good try though.

Swamp rabbit trail, is 18.7 miles long and costed millions of dollars, and they want to extend it. Not to mention all the money spent on bike lanes. Nice try, I live here.

No, you try again. The original post is about maintenance that has not been done for 8 armories (mental health hospitals/universities/roads). The 6 million dollars used before and the 2.5 million dollars allocated by the Greenville City Council in January does not even come close to what is being discussed in the OP. You just wanted to discuss how unhappy you are with the decisions that those communities made and to do whatever your little brain could do to pin it on liberals. Even though, your studies actually show that those moves have been beneficial to the business community.

The funding discussed in the OP would be allocated by the state.

AND considering that you have 8 armories (mental health hospitals/universities/roads) that need to be repaired you should be doing whatever it takes to increase business.

No, actually those trails costed millions. Became a murder spot, and they want to raise taxes to expand and maintain it. No, maintaining the existing roads. They want a ten cent gas tax to do that. Liberals in charge.

Show me. I'm looking at 8.5 million. You know better than I what paper to look in or what documents are available.

What's the maintenance on it, the expansion they want to do to it. The bike lanes they are putting in the city. The landscaping they are ripping out and putting new in. They are putting extravagant landscapes on the highway exits. They even put trees and bushes in the divider on 385. Yes that is millions that could be spent on infrastructure.

Show you what? If you look up greenville, i'm sure you will see what I'm talking about. What I am saying is that greenville is getting liberal and spending money on things other than infrastructure.

You understand just fine.

I'm looking for newspaper articles and whatever studies that you can show me (amount of money spent if it is over 8.5 million) on it. I'm willing to hear you out but show me.
