Greenwood’s city property taxes are going up next year, and with a vote of 4-3 on next year’s budget, no one on council Monday was thrilled with the decision.
As federal dollars make their way to communities across the country, Greenwood County’s heads are trying to make sense of what the law allows them to spend these funds on.

Patricia Partlow has won the special election for Greenwood City Council Ward 2.
âIâm excited to start to work for the community,â Partlow, 56, said Tuesday. âItâs an exciting time for us here.â
Partlow received 47 votes to Marcial Renee Rapp Littleâs 14, according to unofficial results on the Greenwood County website.
âIt was great running,â Little said. âI learned something every day.â
She said a number of her supporters found they could not vote in the Ward 2 election because they live in Ward 3, represented by Betty Boles.
Little, 62, said she congratulates Partlow on winning the election.
Turnout was low for the special election with fewer than 4% of registered voters in the ward participating. Two precincts had only one voter cast a ballot, another precinct saw two votes.
