Greenville highlights new businesses, park plantings, transit upgrades and Tree City USA award
Summary
Weekly community notes: Bijou and Republic of Decor opened or relocated to Greenville, Public Works collected nearly 12 tons in neighborhood cleanup, Greenlink added real-time displays, the Greenville Zoo received new animals for quarantine, and the city earned a Tree City USA growth award.
The weekly city briefing included a roundup of community news: Bijou, a jewelry store at 820 South Main Street, opened downtown; Republic of Decor opened in the West End after relocating from Florida. City leaders celebrated both small-business moves.
Public Works launched its annual neighborhood infrastructure and cleanup effort, collecting 14 loads weighing almost 12 tons and rotating bulk-item containers weekly to new locations for resident use. Greenlink rolled out real-time digital schedules at six stops as part of upgrades to more than 300 bus shelters.
The Greenville Zoo received new animals that will be quarantined for about a month before going on exhibit. Recreational events included the sixth annual mini golf tournament at McPherson Park. The city also received a Tree City USA growth award marking its 40th year of recognition for community tree-care efforts.
These items were presented as informational updates rather than formal council actions in the weekly briefing.
