Lee Cunningham - Greenville SC Real Estate

Greenville County Council departed from their typically conservative stance on an inadequate public transit program, and voted to find $57,000 from somewhere in the budget to help fund a county wide transit program and a new bus. It comes after testimony from Rick Sumerel of Verdae Development Inc. that the area of Greenville South Carolina real estate bounded by Woodruff Road and Laurens Road will need increased public transportation in the future. That includes the Verdae development, CU-ICAR at the Millennium Campus, The Point, the South Financial Group, the new Saint Francis Hospital, the Global Trade Center, and Magnolia Park that have rapidly developed the area. By matching the $25,000 contributed by the City of Greenville to finish the last portion of transit master plan, the project becomes eligible for 80% federal funding. For information on how these developments and will affect homes sales Greenville SC, please contact The Cunningham Team.
