1. County courthouse and city/county municipal complex
If you ve driven down Daniel Morgan Avenue lately, you ve probably seen the big crane and progress on the Spartanburg County courthouse project. The parking deck and nearby central energy plant will be completed by June 30, 2021, Britt said.
After the courthouse is complete, a new joint city/county municipal building will be built as part of the same project funded by a penny sales tax.
Britt said the courthouse and new municipal complex will be a good adrenaline spurt for downtown merchants. It ll make it so much more walkable for our associates at the county and in the city. And it will be a big complex.
In June of this year, the small community of Little Africa in northern Spartanburg County found itself in the middle of the local news cycle amid nationwide protests for racial justice when swastikas and racial slurs were discovered on the neighborhood s signs, guardrails, and bridges. Things gonna change. It don t come when you want it to come, but God gonna let it change, Cora Martin of Little Africa told the Spartanburg Herald-Journal in July, not long after the vandalism had been cleaned up by the community.
And things definitely have changed in the five months since then. The community hasn t seen any more vandalism, but there s still mixed morale, according to resident Sundra Proctor Smith.
