Saitta gives thoughts on mill issue

Dear Editor,

The Hagood Mill and its grounds are owned by the county government. Up until 2019, it was managed and run by the county parks department. In 2019, a private organization named the Hagood Mill Foundation asked to manage the mill, and the foundation has been running it ever since.

I read the article last week where the chairman of the foundation board complained the funding the county has given the foundation was only $70,000 a year.

This is untrue. The past 12 months the county gave this private organization a total of $170,000 in taxpayer funds — $21,000 in recreation funds, $79,000 in ATAX funds
