The Greenville City Council on Tuesday authorized a $6.57 million contract between the city and Acadia Services for improvements to Majors Road. The city is paying for the work out of its airport budget while it applies for a $1.25 million grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Why it matters
The improvements are part of preparation for growing demand on the municipal airport as more businesses come to Greenville. The work is also a step in the city's planned expansion of the airport.
The council approved a $6.57 million agreement with Acadia Services, while the city's $1.25 million Department of Commerce grant application, if approved, is intended to reduce the cost of the work by nearly 20%. The grant award has not yet been decided.

Market Landscape
Greenville is seeking federal Department of Commerce funding to offset local infrastructure costs as it expands its airport to serve new businesses. The project shows how mid-sized cities pair municipal budgets with federal grant applications to support economic development.
Residents will see road, drainage, and utility work on Majors Road through mid-2027, with possible traffic-control disruptions along the route. The outcome of the $1.25 million grant application will determine how much of the city's airport budget is ultimately spent on the project.
The takeaway
Growth-related infrastructure projects like this one often depend on combining municipal budgets with federal grants, so watch for the Department of Commerce decision to see how the final cost is shared.
