Here is a recap of the Mauldin City Council meeting on Dec. 16.
Final approval: Bond issue to support construction of stadium
Council approved an ordinance to issue a hospitality and accommodations tax revenue bond for up to $4.25 million to support the construction of the Greenville Pro Soccer’s new multipurpose stadium at BridgeWay Station.
The 10,000-seat facility, which will serve as home to the Greenville Triumph SC and Greenville Liberty, is expected to cost $80 to $100 million. The project will also be supported by $45 million in private funding and $10 million from the state. Greenville Pro Soccer is also seeking $14 million from Greenville County’s hospitality and accommodations tax fund.
Initial approval: Rezoning for townhomes
Council approved a request to rezone two acres along Fowler Circle near West Butler Road. The applicant, Red Oak Developers, is planning to construct up to 38 townhomes on the property, which is adjacent to the Sunview Townhomes community. This item will go before the City Council for final approval Jan. 20, 2025.
Final approval: Property sale for East Butler Improvement Project
Council approved an ordinance to sell a portion of Maverick Station’s property at the corner of East Butler Road and state Highway 276 to the South Carolina Department of Transportation. The property will be used as part of the agency’s Butler Road Improvement Project, which includes stormwater and intersection changes, and a 10-foot-wide, multi-use path.
Maverick Station will lose some of its parking spaces, and its water vault and sign will need to be relocated. The city will receive $189,750 from SCDOT for the property and the funds will be used to build additional parking spaces for public use.
