I hear you, but you can also go ahead and assume that County Council personalities (and views) would be elected to the newly expanded City Council. No thank you. Greenville City has had an ideal bipartisan mix for years, creating the successful centrist city that is well governed. 

That’s a very valid point.

Adding commercial properties would not change the population and by extension the council districts either.  It would take a very substantial annexation of residential properties to even have a minor impact on the makeof of council. The number of seats would not change.

Consolidation would be another matter. It would have a lot of benefits but there would be a clash of cultures so to speak.

Well aware. Johnpro318 and I were strictly talking about county consolidation.

Fire Chief doesn't want it to happen because his district will loose tax revenue, simple as that.

This is the same district that was in the news not too long ago for some sort of scandal, right?

That was a different one. There are a lot of different fire districts, They need to consolidate them like they did with sewer.

9 Stall Street  .12 acres

I neglected to post this when it was first published. 

The Montgomery Street annexation that  near this one, was approved on First  Reading by city council but has not received 2nd reading nor put on the agenda. Curious as to what happened there.

Cherrydale annexation received initial approval last night. I know we've seen numbers about the loss of revenue from the Parker District folks, but I have wondered about the financial upsides for the City of Greenville. The Greenville Journal has provided the following from last night's meeting:

Quote

...the projected tax savings for Cherrydale property owners is $69,200. 

The city’s projected revenue from Cherrydale is $503,000 in property taxes and $300,000 in business license tax revenue.

Pretty substantial influx for properties that don't require a lot of services, IMO.

Cherrydale Annexation: Who stands to gain and lose

[vicupstate]

108 Tulip Street .19 acres

It didn't take long for Cherrydale annexation to lead to this one. 

Greenville CC Golf Course 131 acres

I wonder if this will lead to the city seeking annexation of Chanticleer.

Hopefully the residents would be open to it or request it at some point (similar to Club Forest many years ago).

Annexation of the golf course at this time is to bring the Chanticleer course under one jurisdiction prior to a major course renovation.

Greenville to annex Chanticleer Golf Course

City Council unanimously gave initial approval March 25 to a request for annexation made by the Greenville Country Club. The Chanticleer course lies west of Augusta Street, east of Interstate 185 and southwest of Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital.

The decision on the 131 acres marks a “great first step” on the annexations the city anticipates in the area, City Councilman Russell Stall told The Post and Courier.

Does that include the neighborhood or just the course itself? Any idea how many people that would be?

Just the course for now.  Stall's comments lead me to believe there might be more later in this area.
