Well, there really isn’t any extra money. The City Council is poised to give initial approval tonight for the budget, which includes some minor increases to garbage/sewer fees to help fund sewer rehabilitation projects.
Some large projects included for the upcoming year are: the signature city park, $3 million to improve neighborhood parks, $15 million to transform the Greenville Zoo, and $5 million towards a new downtown parking garage.
Some smaller initiatives: new trolleys, new sidewalks, street resurfacing, and the remaining money needed to complete a Woodruff Road connector road by the end of the year will be allocated.
Basically, any surplus from the budget will go to other projects that help improve our awesome city.
