In a historic move, the Greenville City Council has approved the annexation of more than 125 acres, marking the largest expansion in over a decade. In this report by 7 News’ Taylor Farmer, we learn what this means for residents, local businesses, and the future of growth in the city.
The newly annexed areas include neighborhoods near Brandon Mill, sections of Wade Hampton Boulevard, and Hampton Station. Mayor Knox White says this move brings benefits like lower property taxes, improved city services, public safety, and better infrastructure planning. Business owners in the West Village say the decision will help ease pressure on county services — but warn that parking and transit solutions will be critical as development continues.
