WHY: The 2010 Census revealed a population shift within the city limits, and as a result, Greenville’s current City Council districts do not meet the guidelines of the Voting Rights Act. Public input meetings are being held in each City Council district to discuss the proposed redistricting plan to redraw the boundary lines for the four voting districts for City Council. At the meetings, representatives from the City’s Planning & Development Division and the City Attorney’s Office will discuss the proposed changes, answer questions and receive citizen input regarding the proposed changes.
City residents can view the proposed City Council district map and do an address search to determine if the proposed changes will affect them by visiting the City’s web site at
