County Council Oct. 6, 2026

Greenville County Council’s regular meeting, identified by the title as Oct. 6, 2026 (metadata lists Oct. 9), included several economic-development and infrastructure actions. Council approved Project Dogwood’s inducement resolution by a 9–1 vote and Project Surface’s by a 7–3 vote; related fee-in-lieu-of-tax agreements and a special-source credit agreement for Project Surface were introduced for first reading. Council also advanced an amendment enlarging the Lawrence–Greenville industrial and business park for Project Hunter. A first-reading ordinance would transfer approximately 26 acres of county-owned property near Arcadia Drive to the Greenville Transit Authority. No competitive bid or vendor award was reported. The Committee of the Whole also moved to approve a service proposal from Pathways Executive Coaching and Consulting for a county council employee evaluation, while an RFP for a budget-related audit was being developed; PFM’s sheriff’s department efficiency audit remained underway.

Council passed at second reading, by a 9–1 vote, an ordinance removing the sunset provision from Ordinance 5577, making countywide riparian-buffer and related septic-development protections ongoing; public commenters supported the change for water-quality and flood-mitigation reasons. Public Works received recognition for achieving APWA accreditation. Other actions included fire-service-area millage ordinances and multiple zoning decisions. No specific contract award amounts were stated.
