Redistricting Meetings Scheduled for October 3rd and 4th The City of Greenville will host four public meetings in September and October to provide information and gather feedback as the City begins the redistricting process. The 2020 United States Census showed a shift in population density within the city limits, meaning districts are no longer balanced. The law requires population equity among the districts, so the City’s redistricting goal is to have four council districts that are as close to the same number of people as possible.
Public meetings will be held in each Council district. Residents can attend any of the meetings as the information shared will be the same. All meeting will be held will be from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m.

A total of 92 city streets - more than 26 miles of road - will now be targeted for repaving and repair. City engineering director, Clint Link, received word last week that a 50-50 state match will grow the available funds from $6 to $12 million. The City will use the money to accelerate the seven-year project, with a new plan to complete a total of $12 million of work, all in 2023.
