About BuildWatch

Too many Midlands homeowners first learn about a subdivision, gas station, or data center when equipment appears nearby. The public notice existed—but it was buried in a long county agenda PDF.

BuildWatch monitors public agendas in Lexington, Richland, and Kershaw counties, finds relevant items near a chosen address, and turns planning language into a plain-English text alert.

Our goal is straightforward: give neighbors enough notice to understand a proposal, attend the meeting, and make a useful public comment. An agenda item is not an approval, so our alerts include context rather than hype.
