Summary
Council approved an ordinance to appropriate $400,000 from neighborhood infrastructure bond interest to buy and install an emergency generator at the Nicetown community center to establish a resiliency hub; staff said the purchase is part of a grant-backed resilience effort.
Greenville City Council approved an ordinance allocating $400,000 from neighborhood infrastructure bond interest to cover construction and procurement of a generator to establish a resiliency hub at the Nicetown community center.
Staff explained the funding is part of a "big idea" grant that supports the resiliency center and that backup power is required for the center to operate during adverse events and support residents. A staff presenter said the city was the first municipality to receive the grant and suggested this facility may be the first resiliency hub at a community center in South Carolina.
The council moved and seconded the appropriation; members unanimously approved the item by roll call. Council members praised the project as a key resilience investment in neighborhoods and thanked staff for securing the grant funding.
