Reduce Noise Pollution Downtown

The City is asking downtown visitors and residents to help reduce noise along Main Street by refraining from playing loud music, revving engines and alike. Violators of the city's noise ordinance will be subject to a maximum fine of $1,087. The noise ordinance signs will be displayed along Main Street, spanning from NOMA Square to the West End, to help bring awareness to the noise pollution campaign.

2022 More to Enjoy Sign Application

The City of Greenville is continuing its More to Enjoy wayfinding program, which features newly-designed business directory signs at key Main Street intersections. The purpose of the program is to encourage downtown visitors to discover shops and restaurants located on side streets in the Central Business District by listing business names and providing directional arrows. The signs are designed to be eye-catching, while still incorporating seamlessly into the City’s overall downtown branding campaign.

Submit an application or apply for renewal by filling out the 2022 More to Enjoy application. Space on the signs are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. For questions or more information, please email Cameron Campbell at cjcampbell@greenvillesc.gov.
