Today's riddle: What is the difference between black eyed peas and chick peas? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. NEI Contracting Chosen to Oversee Greenville Summit Renovation (greenvillebusinessmag.com) — A $10 million renovation is underway at Greenville Summit, the historic downtown high-rise that provides 101 affordable apartments for local seniors. With new kitchens, baths, windows, HVAC, and restored historic details, the project—backed by HUD, SC Housing, and the City of Greenville—aims to preserve both long-term affordability and the building's landmark character for low-income residents.
2. Greenville annexes 135 acres near Woodruff Road and I-385. Here's why (greenvilleonline.com) — Greenville has officially annexed 135 acres around Woodruff Road and I-385, bringing 19 busy commercial parcels into the city and giving officials more control over traffic and future development. City leaders say access to Greenville's advanced traffic signal system and planning standards should gradually improve congestion and guide growth along this notoriously crowded corridor.
3. Greenville County considers repealing road fee tied to sales tax vote, but bond debt complicates plan (foxcarolina.com) — Greenville County residents will soon vote on a 1% sales tax that would fund road projects and potentially change how you pay for transportation improvements. Officials had hoped to repeal the $25-per-vehicle road fee, but existing bond debt for the Woodruff Road bypass complicates that plan, so they're now exploring other relief options and holding dozens of public information sessions.
4. Women's golf to tee off in inaugural tournament Friday (ricethresher.org) — Rice University's new women's golf team will make its competitive debut in Greenville this Friday at the Lady Paladin Invitational, bringing fresh collegiate action to local fairways. The largely first-time college squad has spent months adjusting from junior golf to team play and longer courses, hoping to showcase its potential in front of Upstate spectators.
5. Beyond the Commute: Unveiling the Top 3 Destination Cities of 2026 (valiantceo.com) — Greenville is spotlighted as one of 2026's top three destination cities, praised for its lively downtown, Blue Ridge Mountain access, and strong advanced manufacturing job base. The article notes that remote workers and families are increasingly choosing Greenville's lower costs and quality-of-life amenities over expensive coastal metros, reinforcing the city's growing national profile.
