While many of us are just getting started filling our tax forms and preparing to write those checks to the county, the state and Uncle Sam, the VC Summer nuclear facility in Jenkinsville ponied up its share of the pie last month – more than $21 million worth.

Of that total (the actual number is $21,280,884.53), more than $9 million went to the county (breakdown below), while nearly $12 million went to the Fairfield County School District.

For the school district, their actual total of $11,412,103.68 went directly into their operating fund, while an additional $556,276.67 went toward their debt.

For the county, the breakdown is somewhat more complicated:

General Fund: $6,567,967.35

Hospital Emergency: $424,869.95

EMS: $860,102.55

Library: $196,663.53

Fire Board: $429,488.02

Fire Capital: $97,662.66

2008 Bond Issue: $310,880.37

1996 Bond Issue: $248,704.26

EMS Capital: $176,165.49

“Being a good corporate citizen is very important to SCE&G,” said SCANA spokesperson Rhonda O’Banion. “Being one of the biggest property tax payers in South Carolina, we’re able to help fund schools, police, fire and other critical services throughout Fairfield County.

“Our employees at the VC Summer Nuclear Station feel good about contributing to the county’s quality of life.”
