Everything You Need to Know about Greenville City Council Meetings

What does Greenville City Council do?

The Greenville City Council makes decisions on neighborhood planning and affordable housing, economic development, recreation, open space and environmental sustainability, public safety and community engagement, and mobility. They adopt ordinances, set budgets, and oversee city departments to carry out these priorities.

Where and when does the City Council meet?

The Council meets on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month. A Work Session begins at 3:30 PM, followed by the Formal Meeting at 5:30 PM. Meetings are held in Council Chambers on the 10th floor of City Hall at 206 S Main St, Greenville, SC 29601.

How will I know what the Council is discussing that day?

Each Friday at 4 PM before a meeting, the finalized agenda is posted online at here. Select “City Council” and the meeting date to download the PDF, which lists the order of events, agenda item numbers and titles, and any attachments.
