Greenville launched a new text-alert service to share city news and events with residents and encourages sign-ups via an online chat; the broadcast invited listeners to join the service but did not provide enrollment details.
Henry Coburn, a city communications presenter, said the city has launched a new Greenville text-alert service to help residents stay informed about city news and events.
