• Nanobubbles: A practical tool for improving wastewater treatment performance (wwdmag.com) — Greer's Maple Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant is highlighted for cutting polymer use by up to 35% and improving sludge handling after adopting nanobubble technology, which can lower operating costs and support more stable treatment. The article explains how nanobubbles help utilities nationwide boost treatment efficiency, delay expensive expansions, and better manage chemicals, with Greer's full‑scale results serving as a key real‑world example.
   

• El Paso HOME buying spree: $600M in apartments, El Paso to Carolinas (elpasotimes.com) — Greer residents may see changes at The Lively Victor Park on Village Mill Drive, which was bought this year for over $61 million by an El Paso public housing affiliate expanding across the Carolinas. The group is converting privately owned complexes into income‑restricted, mixed‑income housing using tax‑exempt financing, aiming to generate revenue for affordable housing back in El Paso while removing these properties from local tax rolls.
