If all goes according to plan, Augusta could have its new Trade Exhibition and Event Center in two years.

Tuesday, commissioners voted to move forward with finding a developer for the project.

They also voted to implement a transportation and tourism fee that will help pay for the TEE Center.

It goes into effect March 1. The county plans to take $750,000 a year from that fee to improve Augusta's heritage areas, like the Bethlehem and Laney-Walker communities.
