Last week, Greenville was named one of the fastest growing cities in the nation and *the* fastest, east of Texas. (Not to our surprise.)

With all this growth talk, we have to wonder: what does the Mayor think? Balanced growth and smart planning.

What’s in the plans?

City Park on the west side of town
A new connector road to Woodruff Rd.
A new county HQ and mixed-use development project on the site of the current County Square
Grand Bohemian Hotel

To top it all off, the Mayor feels that the next big phase of development lies off of Lauren’s road where an expansion of the Greenville Health System Swamp Rabbit Trail, two mixed-use developments, a theatre, and a grocery store are being discussed.

What does balanced growth mean to you? Leave a comment below.
