Greenville approves sale of two city-owned homes to local buyers under revitalization program
Summary
Council unanimously approved the sale of two city-owned houses — 624 Hudson Street and 808 Vanderbilt Lane — as part of the West Greenville revitalization and homeownership efforts; both sales followed public hearings and received community support.
Greenville City Council on Thursday approved resolutions to sell two city-owned houses to local buyers as part of the West Greenville Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area and related housing initiatives.
The first sale authorized the transfer of 624 Hudson Street to Manaya Perry. Renee Skeen, program manager, said the sale supports the city’s goal of expanding homeownership and was part of a block-level revitalization in partnership with Bill Clark Homes; staff reported offers had been received for all six redeveloped units. Perry, who has a young daughter, told council, “This will be my first home,” and public supporters, including her realtor and pastor, spoke in favor.
The council approved the sale by voice vote, 6-0.
The second resolution authorized sale of 808 Vanderbilt Lane to Vicki May and Bobby Swindell. The city received a public hearing; Rochelle Hobbs, representing the buyers, said the purchase represents a step toward stability and homeownership for the couple. Council approved that sale by voice vote, 6-0.
Both sales are part of the city’s affordable housing work in West Greenville and include standard closing procedures; staff said proceeds and program requirements will be recorded per council direction.
