The Greer City Council has approved the closure of a portion of Moore Street due to safety concerns related to the railroad arm system. The council also heard an ordinance requesting the annexation of a 17.41-acre plot of land on McElrath Road, which will be heard once more before final approval. The decision to close Moore Street was met with opposition from council member Jay Arrowood, who argued that the city should be compensated for the loss of an asset.
