York County is funding a major infrastructure upgrade program in Rock Hill, overseen by county engineer Patrick Hamilton. The project involves resurfacing and upgrading water and sewer lines along a mile-and-a-half stretch of Charlotte Avenue, which serves as a main thoroughfare to downtown Rock Hill. The work is part of the $80 million Pennies for Progress program, approved by voters in a 2024 referendum, and is expected to begin in Fall 2027 or early 2028.
