# City Council 11.12.26

The Greenville City Council meeting was held November 12, 2026. The primary procurement- and capital-related item was a municipal agreement with the North Carolina Department of Transportation for a citywide traffic-signal upgrade. The project’s estimated cost has risen from about $9.8 million to $15,493,156; the presentation identified federal funding of $11,974,537, state funding of $2,518,782, and a city share of approximately $998,837. The work covers upgrades to signal controllers and cabinets, fiber communications, vehicle detection, signal phasing, and emergency-vehicle preemption at an estimated 150 intersections. The schedule calls for final plans in July 2027, project letting in November 2027, and construction from 2028 through 2032. A motion to approve the agreement was made, but the transcript does not capture the vote or its result.

The council also approved a rezoning request for approximately 196 acres for residential development by a 5–0 vote; members raised concerns about traffic, drainage, wetlands, and neighborhood engagement. A separate ordinance updating land-use provisions passed 5–0, with council members asking staff to revisit standards for hookah and hemp shops. The council recognized a cross-sector affordable-housing partnership, but no related contract award or specific spending action was identified in the transcript.
