The Greenville Municipal Court building could become a mixed-use development after City Council gave initial approval to sell the building for $4 million at its Monday, Sept. 9 meeting.
Although the potential buyer hasn’t officially announced plans for the space, developers have said it will be two multi-story buildings for a mixed-use development. According to the City of Greenville’s zoning code, the site has no density limit, so there’s no limit to the number of units that can go on the property.
The buildinghoused the Municipal Court since the 1940s. The money from the sale will pay back some of the cost of the new Public Safety Complex on Halton Road, which will open this fall. Citing lack of parking and a 2021 flood, this court already planned to move to the new Midtown facility.
After final approval from City Council at a future meeting, City Manager Shannon Lavrin said the sale should go through by the end of the year.
