The City of Greenville’s budget for the fiscal year 2022-2023 is nearing completion.
A budget session was held Monday during a special meeting of the city council.
During the budget session, the council and Mayor Errick Simmons heard departmental personnel requests; discussed community partner requests; discussed capital expenditures and other budgetary matters including the tax millage rate.
