Finance July 13, 2026

The Greenville County Finance Committee met on July 13, 2026, to discuss several procurement and budget-related items. Key procurement discussions included a request from the South Greenville Area Fire District for a millage increase to sustain operations and maintain staffing levels, as well as approval of a general obligation bond not to exceed $1 million to fund equipment upgrades after a lease purchase agreement with the USDA fell through. The committee approved the bond despite some opposition to the millage increase. Additionally, the committee approved a cooperative agreement renewal for urban county status to streamline HUD funding administration across municipalities, and approved a tax credit for a building renovation project with no direct cost to the county. The meeting also included approval of a $10,000 project to purchase fire hose sections for emergency operations. Motions related to these procurement and budget items were passed, reflecting ongoing capital improvement and operational funding efforts within the county.
