Greenville is using federal, state, and local funds for sidewalk construction and repairs

Greenville received $1.35 million federal grant (from the FHWA’s Transportation Alternatives Program) for the Overbrook subdivision neighborhood’s Lowndes Hill Road project, part of a larger $3.4M effort, and uses its own Neighborhood Infrastructure Bonds (NIB), totaling $55M for various projects including roads and sidewalks, with federal/state marches often adding significant funds like the $16M in matches. The city actively seeks federal and state grants, combining them with local funds to support major projects, such as sidewalk expansion and traffic improvements.

The city recently repaired sidewalks on Memminger St and other quarters with money earmarked for such needed repairs.

Citizens Transit Academy

Greenville seniors are benefiting from city programs, such as the Citizens Transit Academy (CTA) through Greenlink, a free, six-week course that teaches residents about bus operations, routes, and safety.

These initiatives aim to increase transit independence and provide access to older adults.
