Greenville County Council Regular Meeting
The Council discussed the proposed 2027 County Budget, focusing on a controversial amendment to reduce funding for Greenlink public transportation by $2 million. Numerous residents testified against the cut, citing the negative impact on low-income workers, individuals with disabilities, and the loss of federal matching funds. The Council also reviewed a fee-in-lieu-of-tax agreement for the Augusta Arbor II development, with concerns raised about granting long-term tax breaks to developers without corresponding job creation commitments.
