Greer (SC) City Council Meeting, October 13, 2026

The Greer City Council’s October 13, 2026 meeting included several development and funding matters. Council approved the recommendation to award Project 2027-007, food-service operations at the Prisma Health Performance Center, to DLS Events LLC after reviewing two proposals. The vote was 4–3. Staff said contract negotiations—including menus, pricing, and revenue-share terms—would follow; no contract dollar amount was provided. DLS proposed a tiered revenue share, including 40% on beverages, compared with Southern Way Catering’s 10% across the board. Council members raised concerns about affordability, local vendor participation, and proposed beer and wine sales. The administrator also reported that the performance center remained on schedule for substantial completion around February 26, 2027, and that the South Tiger Greenway Trail was nearing completion. Council considered a Forester Center opioid-recovery funding request that included $114,500 in unused funds to be rolled over and $94,198 in new funding; the transcript does not capture the complete vote tally or outcome.

Council approved the second reading of an annexation and commercial-corridor zoning ordinance for property at 5224 West Wade Hampton Boulevard. First readings advanced other annexation and zoning matters, while the requested office-professional rezoning of properties at 106 and 108 Highland Drive was rejected, consistent with staff and Planning Commission recommendations. Council tabled the proposed alley-closure ordinance for further study and asked staff to work with affected residents on a broader approach to alley closures. It also advanced a package of Unified Development Ordinance amendments at first reading, covering such matters as public-notice timing, development standards, signage, lighting, buffers, and subdivision rules—changes that could affect future development proposals.
