The City of Greenville passed it’s budget for the year weighing in at $272,500,000.
There’s an endless list of projects for the city to work on and they are tackling a number of them. Affordable Housing continues to be a high priority for everyone in the city and they’ve allocated more than $10MM to help provide housing. I’m a skeptic so I don’t really know what the $10MM brings other than it’s generally a great tax deal for the developers and investors in such projects with the city.
Greenville County Schools has come out with their budget requests for the upcoming school year. They are looking to increase the budget from $721 million in 2021-2022 up to $788 million in 2022-2023. That’s an increase of $67 million with apparently $53 million coming from the State. The delta will need to be made up by tax inceases on property owners in the county. Contained in this budget is the goal to give teachers a pay raise of $2,000.
Here’s the Greenville County Schools budget in detail for the current year.
