The Greenville Zoo is about to get some nice improvements. According to the story running in the Post and Courier the Zoo will see the following:
“A giraffe feeding platform. An upgraded, more accessible Africa plaza. A new orangutan enclosure and an renovated siamang exhibit. An expanded farmyard section.
Those capital projects are in the pipeline at the Greenville Zoo, upgrades intended to enhance the experience of visitors and keep the facility in line with Association of Zoos and Aquariums accreditation standards.
Altogether, the improvements are expected to cost more than $5 million, part of which will be covered by a $1 million earmark in the state budget for the current fiscal year and the rest of which will be funded through private donations.”
I was kind of a amazed that Greenville has a Zoo given the size of the Upstate but this is just another sign of the continual improvements being made here and the quality of life is tough to beat!
