The Wheeler Hill district, which
borders the southeastern side of
the university, will soon undergo
extensive renovations, according
to a university official.
The university has first option on
any land on Wheeler Hill, which is
controlled by the Carolina
Research and Develonment
Foundation, said Chip Gray of USC
Informational Services. However,
USC President James B.
Holderman does not plan to expand
in the Wheeler Hill direction, Gray
said.

We are going to try to
preserve most of the
hill as it is now.

things like trees it is sometimes a
hindrance," he said. "But we are
going to try to work around
everything."
THE STREET layouts will be
similar to the Main Street
renovations, with cement dividers
ana planters in tne center of the
streets," Randy Johnson said.
"Most of the expense will come
in the repairing of streets and
sidewalks and some storm
drainage," he said. The city of
Columbia is paying for the
redevelopment of the Wheeler Hill
project, and it is putting up about
$500,000 to complete it, Randy
Johnson said.
"It will probably take another
four or five months on our part to
complete the initial planning.
stage," Bill Johnson said.
"THE PLAN has been endorsed
by the university, the city council
and the research foundation,".
