Investors claim Ponzi scheme used to rescue Greenville's Camperdown from mounting debts
This is early in the case and there are 2 sides to this story. I would summarize it as there's a strong smell of a questionable fiduciary nature, but not necessarily a classic 'P-word'.

They need to provide an actual list of which roads would be repaved within the different tier levels.
Does this tiered road list count? https://www.foxcarolina.com/2024/04/23/greenville-co-penny-tax-commission-releases-list-potential-road-projects/

Oh..and don't think I didn't notice these new green street signs all over town. Good looking, and easily readable. I wish we had those kind of signs in Cola.
I was barely aware of these new signs until I was taking some out of town visitors around Greenville and one of them asked about Aryana as our food choice. I was surprised that he knew about this restaurant on a side street but he pointed to the info sign.

I've been there to eat several times - it's great and hope it continues to build places people want to spent time in. It's not bad now and has lots of potential.

QuoteThe City of Greenville is teaming up with Greenlink and the Greenville Drive to give fans new, convenient options to get to Fluor Field. Parking is no longer available at County Square.
...
“I’m grateful to the Mayor and City Council, and staff including the City Manager and the directors of Greenlink and Parking Services,” said Greenville Drive owner Craig Brown. “They have spent countless hours with us looking at maps, scouting out possible parking locations and creating two new trolley routes to quickly and enjoyably transport fans to the game.”
...
It's great to see that the game parking issue has been considered and it looks like a decent solution to help families get to and from the game.
They don't state specifically, but it appears that the new county parking garage was never an option for off-hours parking? Does any know why?

As far as I can see, there is some light earthwork being done in the area of the now-demolished section of the county office building and some dirt work going on across the street. Also, it seems like they're in the process of gutting what's left of the old county building because piles of debris are appearing outside the doors.
This is a likely explanation - a county employee posted that they were still working in the corner building as demolition began. They had to complete the move out and pre-demolition before the rest can be taken down.

Banks have plenty of money to make buildings halfway attractive... missed on this one.
Recalling the Certus fiasco at 1 N Main St, hopefully that means UCB will be a stable local community office.

They aren't telling jack in those things. We need to see the books detailing where every dime was spent. I see little difference. Where are the improvements? I don't trust politicians or government. You're a fool if you believe everything they tell you "man".
Are you saying that the entries such as "US 25 Hwy 25N 4.670 miles $320,618 92% complete" is not specific enough because it doesn't have GPS coordinates?

Not sure if it's open yet, or if the engineer has completed the final inspection. Official ribbon cutting is in early February.
Legacy connector is open today.

The ICAR connection status is a mystery. The Verdae Blvd bridge construction will be a complication - they may need to reroute part of the trail during construction. I have seen some survey markers wandering through the trees in that area but have no idea what they're for. Seemingly they could open a surface crossing in the meantime using the traffic light if they wanted to.
It is a bit concerning that there's been no public discussion at all - hopefully it won't become a 'Gateway' project.

New Adventures. A neighborhood connection to the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail is now part of the City of Greenville's trail system. In a public-private partnership, Verdae Development built 0.3 miles of new trail called the Legacy Connector, to guide walkers, runners and cyclists to the gorgeous Legacy Park. Tonight, City Council voted to assume ownership and take over maintenance of the new trail.
Not sure if it's open yet, or if the engineer has completed the final inspection. Official ribbon cutting is in early February.

The facility and employment will stay under the new company, per a story from the Post & Courier "Following the acquisition from Phoenix Motorcars, Proterra’s Greenville office and manufacturing facility are poised to stay open — a move that will prevent 290 layoffs. "

I'm curious if you were using Waze?
Reports from other Waze users shows that the detour instruction were issued too late - the escape exit had been reconfigured so that it was already passed when Waze tried to exit.

Is the date for the Legacy Park connector correct? It was originally scheduled for completion in December 2023 according to the link that gman430 shared on July 22. I hope they're still on schedule for the earlier date.
You're right - it was a typo that should have been end of 2023.

From city council discussion - 9/11/2023
I missed the beginning, but here are some points -
- Legacy park connector: still in progress, target end 2024
- 3 additional neighborhood connectors along Laurens Rd 2023-2024
- Church St underpass improvement study (visibility, lighting) - 2023
- Cleveland Park pedestrian bridge - direct connection from Richland way tunnel to zoo parking lot (2024)
- Cancer Survivor Park full tread surface replacement - ongoing surface maintenance, aim for better surface lifetime and skid resistance.
- The county 'owns' / operates the trail segment below the Laurens St bridge. I'm surprised by that, but I don't know exactly what that means; perhaps maintenance? It seems to be patrolled by city officers now.
They talked about the long term goals of the trail network in the city. I was struck by how much things have changed since the early days when it seemed that only the hardcore trail users saw the potential to the way it is viewed by most people now.

The part closest to the stadium can still be used for parking was what I was asking. Doubt many peeps will use the new PG for Drive games.
The entire left side of that parking lot would normally fill up on game night, and at least half of that section is marked as closed. So some will need to overflow into other locations. Hopefully they'll still run the trolleys to the garage.

So there will still be plenty of parking for the Drive games?
The new parking garage holds 1050; I don't know how that compares to the old lot

A couple invested a chunk of money with a major financial backer of Camperdown. Although Camperdown has come together, there have been financial issues along the way, possibly due to Covid, construction costs and delays after. So the couple is suing the finance guy over the investment's result.
There is much more detail in the story. The outcome will depend on the statement of objectives the couple gave, and the disclosures the finance guy made up front.
