At the November 9, 2026, City of Greenville City Council formal meeting, council approved an appropriation of $768,350 from the City Manager Development Project and Capital Projects Fund for a settlement payment to the Parker Sewer and Fire Subdistrict. Council also approved $579,500 in state supplemental appropriations and $70,500 from the local accommodations tax fund—$650,000 total—for the purchase and preservation of the historic property at 700 Arlington Avenue, proposed as a home for Greenville’s African American history and cultural heritage collection. Several speakers urged preservation of the site and recognition of Ruth Ann Butler’s legacy. Council approved annexation and zoning items, including a 6.12-acre North 6th Street site described as a potential deeply affordable housing development with United Ministries involvement; the annexation enables the project but is not itself a contract award.

Council discussed implementation of the city’s 1% tax for infrastructure projects: collections are expected to begin May 1, and staff said there are about two and a half years of shovel-ready projects, with a project plan expected for council feedback at its February retreat. Council also considered adoption of the 2024 building-code series, including swimming-pool/spa and existing-building codes, and a resolution providing a temporary pause on certain infill lot-width standards while staff studies potential changes. A property owner requested more time and continued utility service while seeking a stage permit; no council action on that request is captured in the transcript.
