Greer City Council approved the guaranteed maximum price of the City's Sports and Events Center, which came in at $69,334,076. The Council also approved the allocation of $219,968.00 from the City's Guaranteed Political Subdivision Funds to go to an Upstate-based recovery group, aiming to increase recovery services in the area. Additionally, the final authorization for the partial privatization of Park Avenue was approved, and the temporary construction easement to the S.C. Department of Transportation was approved for a project at the Suber Road and Chick Springs intersection.

Greer City Council has passed a resolution to discuss the partial privatization of Park Avenue, a small street adjacent to Victor Park. The move was proposed by Mike McCarthy, the developer of The James, a new living community, who claims it will help cut down on water supply fees. The council will now begin the process of notifying the public and setting up a public hearing, but the issue of privatization will still need full approval. Councilman Arrowood voted against the resolution, citing concerns over traffic flow and maintenance of infrastructure.

The City of Greer was recognized at Tuesday night’s council meeting by the Joyce Scott Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution for its partnership with the organization. Also at the meeting, Council unanimously approved two ordinances, but a request for a lease extension for Snow Street Apartments LP was tabled.
