During a recent city council meeting, community leaders expressed their gratitude for significant funding appropriated for the West Greenville Neighborhood Community Center and the Queen Street Bridge Project. City Council member Chandra Dillard was specifically recognized for her advocacy in securing these funds, which are expected to enhance community engagement and improve the quality of life for residents.

The new community center is envisioned as a safe and welcoming space for individuals of all ages, aiming to revive the vibrant community atmosphere that the original West Greenville Community Center once fostered. Plans include a first-class after-school program and summer camp, alongside various activities designed to cater to the entire community.

In addition to the community center, funding for the Queen Street Bridge Project was also highlighted. This bridge serves as a vital connection to Unity Park and is considered an essential asset for the neighborhood.

Community representatives emphasized that these initiatives represent a significant step forward in enhancing local infrastructure and fostering community spirit. The commitment from city officials, including Mayor White and the city council, was praised as a crucial factor in the ongoing development and well-being of the West Greenville area. The community looks forward to the positive impact these projects will have for generations to come.
