The City of Greenville has a new Economic Director – Merle Johnson. Mr. Johnson comes to Greenville most recently from being the Economic Director for Charleston County, SC. He is replacing Nancy Whitworth who has been doing the work for the past 40 years. The Upstate Business Journal has an excellent story on our new Economic Director. Welcome Mr. Johnson!
The City of Greenville has been working on plans for a number of years to revitalize a 60+ acre park on the west side of town that has been allowed to deteriorate. The revitalization project is just part of a number of efforts by the City of Greenville to continue to make this city such a great place to live.
The Greenville City Council just approved the Unity Park contract with Harper General Contractors to build the 262 unit apartment building. The contract is for just over $38,000,000.
