37 Acre County Square Billion Dollar Development Concept – Greenville, SC
There’s a billion dollar development project going in front of the City of Greenville Planning Commission next week. This is the 37 acre area known as County Square. This seems like a very exciting developement for Greenville but some on the council are holding out for affordable housing. I’ve seen this happen across the country. I’m not sure what it is with these city councils but I guess they see that they have an opportunity to peel off some money from big developers. There’s plenty of areas around Greenville where “affordable housing” government style would fit in just fine. Stop messing with the developers. Perhaps they can pay off the council by carving out $20-$30 million for the city to go build a housing project elsewhere in the city.
Check out the video below which does a beautiful job of explaining the billion proposal. There’s no way the Greenville County Council will vote this down but it’s still up in the air on the City of Greenville Council.
