Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Spartanburg County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
2910 E. Main Street developments
Two projects at the same East Main Street address — a commercial subdivision and a townhome development — are up for commission action in District 3. Whatever the commission decides shapes retail and housing growth along that corridor.
Industrial Development Appeal at 430 Jones Road
Developers appealed staff's denial of a permit for a 200,000-square-foot industrial building on Jones Road, arguing they corrected site plan issues in time. Planning staff and the board maintained the initial application was properly denied, and new applications are blocked by a pending county-wide data center moratorium.
Downtown Development
Spartanburg City Council voted to move the downtown clock tower, meaning the city center's look and feel is about to change. If you hang out downtown, your usual views and landmark spots are getting a makeover.
Government Complex Development
Spartanburg is dropping $80 million on a brand-new, state-of-the-art government complex to streamline public services. Get ready for a major shift in where you go to handle city and county paperwork.
