Loading...
Summary
After entering executive session to discuss two prospective economic development projects, the Greenville County Committee on Finance approved actions related to Honeywell International Inc. and a separate Project Magnolia. Committee members reported no formal action occurred during the closed session itself.
The Greenville County Committee on Finance moved from grant approvals to economic development business and approved items related to Honeywell International Inc. and a project identified in the meeting as "Project Magnolia." The items were discussed in executive session earlier in the meeting.
Mr. Antley reported to the committee after executive session that the closed meeting covered "matters related to the proposed location expansion and provision of services, encouraging location or expansion of industries or other businesses in the area served by Greenville County as it relates to Honeywell International Inc. as one project and Project Magnolia as another." He added that "no action was taken in the executive session."
After returning to open session, the committee considered each item and approved the actions by voice vote. The chair then closed the economic development business and adjourned the meeting.
Why it matters: The items concern prospective business expansions and county participation related to economic development. Executive session was used to review confidential project details before public action; committee members reported no formal decisions were made while in closed session, and subsequent public votes approved the items presented to the committee.
