The small town of around 4,000 will soon be home to a brand new entertainment park.
Mayor Richard Sullivan and The Pinball Company and Parks Amusement CEO Nic Parks announced plans to transform land alongside Highway 63 on Facebook Live Wednesday evening.
Lakeside Ashland will be located right off the Route H and Log Providence Road exit, shared with the Columbia Regional Airport.
The small town has been quickly growing in size over the last few years mainly due to housing, something Sullivan notes cannot be sustained alone.
âAshland cannot continue just to grow with residential housing,â Sullivan said. âI m always looking at new businesses and opportunities for our community grow commercially and also bring jobs.â
