# Greer Opens $16M Public Safety Training Center

Greer, South Carolina, opened its **$16 million public safety training center on September 29, 2026**. Located on Hood Road, the facility serves police, fire, and emergency medical services, with tactical and fire-rescue training areas, classrooms, and equipment storage; it is also intended to support regional responders. The project was financed through a 2024 installment purchase revenue bond, with additional state and local revenue supporting the broader ForGreer capital program. The signals identify no active solicitation or contractor, so the opening is not a current bid opportunity, but it may lead to future needs for facility maintenance, training services, and equipment support.

- Public safety suppliers and service providers can use the facility’s specialized training and regional-use functions to identify potential future demand, but no procurement timeline or solicitation is reported.
- The project demonstrates municipal investment in public safety facilities; contractors should distinguish the completed $16 million center from the wider ForGreer capital program, whose remaining components may generate separate opportunities.
- The 2024 revenue bond is identified as a financing source, not as an open contracting vehicle. No vendors, contract numbers, or contact details are provided.
