In case you missed it, we’re bringing you a behind-the-scenes look at Greer’s time in the spotlight during WSPA 7News’s popular Zip Trip series.

Anchor Fred Cunningham said, “Greer strikes me as a big, big, big small town … Anything you want is here, and yet it maintains that small-town feel.”

Live from Greer City Park on Friday, the City of Greer Parks, Recreation & Tourism, Greer Police Department, and Greer Fire Department teams talked about many of the ways they serve our community, and several Greer businesses gave viewers a glimpse at what makes them special.

EDIT 8/4/25 - The work plan to start at City Hall has been rained out. We will keep you posted with any updates.

Repair work on City Hall won’t interrupt customer service next week, but it will periodically impact some parts of the sidewalk, the parking lot, and the main entrance.

On Monday, August 4, contractors will begin work to fix lingering damage from Hurricane Helene. They’ll start on the side of City Hall that faces Line Street. Some parking spaces near the work zone will be closed when needed for safety. A dedicated monitor will pause repair work for customers who need to access to the ADA entrance of City Hall.

On Tuesday, the work will mainly impact the sidewalks around the clock tower and along the back side of City Hall adjacent to City Park.

Repairs should be complete by the end of Wednesday, Aug. 6.

“One thing about basketball courts is that they’re level, and recreation is what levels our community,” Mayor Rick Danner said during the Stevens courts ribbon-cutting ceremony at Stevens Field last week. Join us in looking at the project from start to celebration.

The two ADA-compliant courts are set to serve the recreation needs of our community for years to come, along with much needed parking at the site. Stevens courts are now open to all at 150 Ball Park St. from dawn to dusk.

Be sure to stop by and shoot some hoops!
