🚧 PAVEMENT PROGRESS CONTINUES ON HOLMES STREET!

Construction crews are back on Holmes Street, paving the roadway in front of Bell Grove Church after Mayor Errick D. Simmons secured a revised Council Order authorizing City funds to complete this important work.

Mayor Simmons recently spoke with Pastor JD Yates to personally update him on the local government process required to secure the revised Council Order and authorize the funding necessary to move the project forward.

Statement of Mayor Simmons

“Sometimes progress requires working through the process, but what matters is that we keep working until the job gets done. I appreciate Pastor Yates and the Bell Grove Church family for their patience and understanding as we worked through the necessary local government procedures. Today, crews are back on Holmes Street, and we are delivering on our commitment to improve this roadway.”

From neighborhood streets to major corridors, the work continues to improve Greenville’s infrastructure—one street, one neighborhood, and one investment at a time.

Construction is temporary. Pavement progress is permanent. Greenville is moving forward! 🚧

STATEMENT OF MAYOR ERRICK D. SIMMONS ON REPEATED OPTIMUM SERVICE OUTAGES

“This is the second major Optimum service outage our community has experienced in just one week, and these repeated disruptions are unacceptable.

Reliable internet, telephone, and communications services are no longer luxuries—they are essential infrastructure. Our City government, businesses, schools, hospitals, industries, public safety operations, and residents depend on these services every single day to work, learn, communicate, provide care, conduct commerce, and serve the public.

Optimum must have adequate redundancy, backup systems, and contingency plans in place to prevent a single failure from repeatedly disrupting an entire community. Greenville cannot continue to experience chronic interruptions that affect virtually every sector of our local economy and daily life.

Just as importantly, customers continue to pay their bills for services they are not receiving during these outages. Residential, business, governmental, educational, healthcare, and industrial customers deserve accountability—and they deserve appropriate credits, concessions, or other relief for these repeated losses of service.

I am calling upon Optimum to immediately address the cause of these recurring outages, explain what corrective measures and redundancies will be implemented to prevent them from happening again, and provide appropriate relief to affected customers.

Greenville deserves reliable service. Our businesses deserve reliable service. Our schools and hospitals deserve reliable service. And our citizens deserve the service they are paying for.

This cannot become the new normal.”
