City of Greer -

Debris clean-up efforts from Hurricane Helene are still underway. In case you missed our post last week, we want to remind you that the DOT is focusing on interstate and primary routes before they’ll be moving into neighborhoods and secondary roads. If you’re experiencing issues on a state-maintained roadway, please reach out to 855-467-2368 to report your concerns. To determine if you live on a state-maintained roadway, you can view our GIS mapping tool: https://gismaps.cityofgreer.org/cityofgreermap/. Select the layers list icon on the left, filter to streets, then select “SC-DOT-Owned Streets” (you may have to zoom in and wait for it to load.)

Last week, both Mayor Danner and Parks, Recreation & Tourism director Ann Cunningham received awards on behalf of the MSG Preston B. Johnson Chapter 39 Disabled American Veterans. Mayor Danner received his award from the chapter for: “his dedication and unwavering support of veterans and their successful partnership for Freedom Blast.” Ann’s award was presented: “for her long commitment, devotion, and passion to Greer Veterans Park that honors America’s veterans.” The Greer DAV chapter has over 400 members who serve in the area, some of which were present during the Recreation Board meeting where the awards were presented.

The Convenience Center renovations are now underway! For anyone who missed it, the Center is now open again, even with the demolition going on. A temporary fence has been set up around the construction area but the rest of the Center is open. If there are any intermittent closures, we’ll be sure to let you know. The current items that the Center isn’t accepting includes: waste oil, household batteries, and e-waste.

We want to let you know our solid waste contractor Meridian Waste has resumed normal, bagged yard waste pickup. We are still working with SCDOT on cleaning up the debris from the impact of Hurricane Helene. The DOT has crews across the Upstate focusing first on interstate and primary routes before moving onto secondary and neighborhood roads. We understand this process has been lengthy for people in Greer, but we appreciate your continued patience as we continue the cleanup. A reminder to begin piling debris on the side of the road, safely out of the roadway. You can report issues on a state-maintained roadway by calling 855-467-2368.

City Park and our Public Services Urban Parks team were recently nationally recognized.

Join us in congratulating our Urban Parks crew and thanking them for all their hard work in keeping City Park so beautiful!
