THANK YOU for supporting the Laurens Rd. TIF . That corridor has been in the doldrums for MUCH LONGER than 10 years. TIFs were used to revitalize both Downtown Greenville and the West End. The tax base growth on both areas has been exponential from those actions. Private investment follows public investment and the public dollars go to PUBLIC improvements, not private developers.

Thank you for your informative newsletter. It has much more comprehensive coverage of the government in our county than The Greenville News!

I live in the Lake Cunningham Fire District and I really appreciate your explanation of the questions that were up for a vote this week. I have been trying to find the voting results, to no avail. Will you please put those results in your next newsletter?

Thank you for your well-detailed explanation for your TIF support. I for one, like this method of public funding.

Appreciate your analysis. Laurens Road cannot be allowed to stagnant any longer. The TIF is the most practical answer that will produce identifiable results.
