## Resource

Greenville County is pushing a new penny sales tax to fund roads, greenways, and transit—after a similar plan narrowly missed approval in 2024. Nineteen public meetings will run through October, giving residents a chance to weigh in before the November election. While supporters tout infrastructure wins, critics say developers should pay more. And don’t forget: nearby cities like Travelers Rest and Simpsonville are also proposing their own penny taxes—with different goals. This isn’t unique either; Union County’s version targets schools, showing how flexible these funds can be across communities.
