The Greenville City Council learned that a new restaurant will soon be locating in the city.
At their April 7 meeting, the Council was informed that a new Fusion restaurant will begin construction in the near future at 990 North Talbotton Street. The anticipated menu will be a mix of Mexican, Mediterranean and American favorites. The owners’ goal is to have the restaurant up and open for business by Thanksgiving or Christmas this year.
The Council was informed that the city’s financial reporting has been delayed, and the reconciliation process is pending. The audit progress was reported as 85% complete for 2024 and 50% complete for 2025.
Work continues on the city football field, located behind the Meriwether County Board of Education office. Pressure washing began last week, and adhesive spray was scheduled for April 16. The bleachers will be painted on April 24. Bathrooms and the concession stand will be pressure-washed and painted concurrently, with doors to be sanded and painted instead of replaced.
Council members also promoted new downtown businesses, including an ice cream shop and taco bar.
The next regular meeting of the Greenville City Council will be Tuesday, May 5, at 6 p.m. at City Hall.
