Fort Mill Daily Brief: Park Expansion, Infrastructure Work, and Winter Services
Fort Mill, SC — February 6, 2026 — Town leaders advanced park expansion plans, utility upgrades, and seasonal services as February projects move ahead.
Fort Mill enters the first full week of February with steady progress on long‑term projects and a few reminders that matter day to day. From land purchases near a popular park to behind‑the‑scenes infrastructure work, here’s a look at what’s shaping the local conversation.
Doby Bridge Park expansion takes a step forward
The Town of Fort Mill has approved the purchase of more than seven acres of land next to Doby Bridge Park. The acquisition opens the door for future park expansion, with space for additional recreational features as the town continues to grow.
Town officials say the land gives flexibility for long‑range planning, even though no immediate construction timeline has been announced.
Water and sewer upgrades moving ahead
Major water and sewer capital improvement projects are also moving forward across Fort Mill. These upgrades focus on replacing aging underground infrastructure and increasing system capacity.
While much of the work happens out of sight, town leaders say the projects are key to supporting new development and avoiding larger issues down the road.
Leaf collection continues through March
Fort Mill’s seasonal leaf collection program remains underway. Public Works crews will continue collecting leaves on regular garbage days through March 15.
Residents are reminded to keep leaves loose at the curb and away from storm drains to help the automated vacuum system operate efficiently.
Emergency alerts and town updates
The town continues to encourage residents to sign up for its emergency alert and mass notification system, which delivers time‑sensitive information during severe weather or other urgent situations.
Officials say the system is one of the fastest ways to stay informed as Fort Mill continues to expand.
