What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Greenville County Council approved annual project funding on October 19, 2026. The county is proposing a Transportation Sales Tax, which allows the county to choose projects as they are funded. Voters in Greenville County will weigh this against five penny taxes on the November ballot, which could fund millions in new infrastructure.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposed tax initiatives aim to fund over $1 billion in infrastructure, including roads and sidewalks. The State Legislature passed the Municipal Tax Relief Act this year, which allows cities within Greenville County to propose their own penny taxes.
