The FY2020 audit describes a $120 million bond referendum (approved in 2016) funding construction of a new Boiling Springs High School, renovation of the former high school into a 9th grade academy, and upgrades to existing athletic facilities. As of June 30, 2020, the new high school had opened (August 2019) while renovations of the existing building and athletic facility upgrades were still underway, with capital assets and construction in progress increasing by over $20 million in FY2020. This signals an ongoing multi‑year campus buildout where significant work—particularly athletics, site improvements, FF&E, and technology—may still be sequenced and procured. Vendors in construction, sports facilities, furnishings, and related professional services can position for remaining packages, value‑engineering, and future lifecycle projects tied to this bond. The audit also shows substantial remaining capital projects fund balance, indicating capacity for follow‑on capital work at this campus and others.
Thompson Turner is later named as CM for other additions, so is likely involved on the Boiling Sprin...
Kershaw County is finalizing a 30‑year special source revenue credit agreement with a Delaware LLC dubbed Project Gemstone, which plans to invest over $100 million and create 150+ jobs in a new commercial/industrial facility. The county will place the site into its joint industrial park with Fairfield County and offset infrastructure costs via fee‑in‑lieu tax credits. This points to a large greenfield industrial project needing site work, utilities, building construction, equipment, and ongoing services over the next decade.
Minimum investment requirement is $100,000,000 and 150 jobs by end of 10‑year investment period; cre...
Richland County is advancing a major capital project to construct a new three-story, 288-bed, six-unit housing building at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center with a budget of about $40.2M. As of May 20, 2025, the County has received a cost proposal from Mosely Architects and held pre-construction scope meetings; staff will conduct site visits to neighboring detention facilities in June to refine scope, with full scope and design criteria expected by July 2025 and design starting July 1, 2025 and running through an estimated overall completion date of July 1, 2028.
The construction contractor is still listed as TBD, and the project is only 2% complete, meaning the County is in the early planning and design phase for a multi-year detention expansion. This creates room for architecture, engineering, general contracting, security, MEP, and specialty detention vendors to educate stakeholders on design options, phasing, and systems standards before procurement packages are finalized and bid.
New housing will be configured similarly to the Mike Housing Unit and is intended to address capacit...
The Town is reworking its Concept 1.1 downtown plan, dropping a planned parking garage and shifting to flat paved parking due to funding limits. Administrator McKaba reported that total downtown funding needs exceed $20 million and that they are exploring earmarks and grants (RIA, USDA, etc.), with some award cycles several years out and bonds as a secondary option. This is early-stage capital planning where firms offering grant writing, funding strategy, phasing, design, and program management can help shape scope and financing before procurements are defined.
Parking garage removed; two 10,000 sq ft buildings may be repurposed for required parking; staff/ten...

The June 22, 2026 Greenville City Council work session included a detailed South Carolina DOT presentation on replacing the S-149 West Faris Road bridge over Brushy Creek. The existing 1969 timber-pile bridge has reached end of life, is load-posted, and no longer meets current SCDOT design standards for traffic volumes of about 18,300 vehicles per day.
The proposed project will construct a new, wider concrete bridge with improved grades, sight distance, turning radii at Melville Avenue/Brookview Circle, and better accommodation for bike and pedestrian traffic. The presentation outlined an estimated construction value of roughly 8400000, a total project cost including preliminary engineering, right-of-way, and utilities, a targeted January 2027 closure and about a 7‑month construction duration, and significant in-contract utility relocations for multiple providers. This is an active capital transportation project in design and preconstruction, and vendors can engage around construction services, traffic control, utility coordination, and public outreach support as SCDOT advances toward letting in spring 2027.
Kershaw County is finalizing a 30‑year special source revenue credit agreement with a Delaware LLC dubbed Project Gemstone, which plans to invest over $100 million and create 150+ jobs in a new commercial/industrial facility. The county will place the site into its joint industrial park with Fairfield County and offset infrastructure costs via fee‑in‑lieu tax credits. This points to a large greenfield industrial project needing site work, utilities, building construction, equipment, and ongoing services over the next decade.
Kershaw County is authorizing a Fee-In-Lieu of Ad Valorem Taxes and Special Source Revenue Credit agreement with a major investor referred to as Project Ballast. The project involves an expected $900,000,000 investment, with a contractual minimum of $400,000,000 and at least 15 new full-time jobs, supported by a 40-year FILOT and credits. While the tax incentive deal is set, this large industrial project will drive demand for site development, utilities, infrastructure, environmental, and professional services in and around the new facility.
Beaufort County Council’s consent agenda lists approval of a contract with Edison Foard for a design-build transient hangar at Beaufort Executive Airport (ARW) with a project value of 1,250,000. This confirms the County has chosen Edison Foard to both design and construct new hangar capacity for transient aircraft at the general aviation airport.
While the prime has been selected, the design-build nature and size of the project create opportunities for subcontractors, specialty trades, hangar equipment providers, and aviation technology vendors. Sellers can pursue Edison Foard or the County’s facilities and airport staff for follow-on work such as access systems, fire suppression, hangar doors, fueling interfaces, lighting, and future phases of airport development.
The council reviewed a $2.4M bond issued by US Bank to cover engineering and supplemental costs associated with SCIIP grant-funded projects, which has earned roughly $100K per year over three years. With SCIIP projects nearing completion and engineering costs totaling $922,000, there is a remaining balance of about $1,778,000 that staff recommended be applied to four additional projects. Council unanimously approved using the newly available SC grant-related funds on those four projects, rather than returning the interest to the federal government, but the specific projects and procurement paths are not detailed in the minutes. This indicates fresh funding capacity for additional infrastructure or utility-related capital work tied to SCIIP initiatives, likely requiring engineering, construction, and possibly program management services. Vendors can position around helping the city scope, design, and deliver these four projects and structure compliant procurements that align with SCIIP and bond requirements.
The Town of Hollywood Council approved second reading and adoption of Ordinance 2025-26-06, a Property Bond Ordinance, on May 19, 2026 to finance a settlement-driven purchase of approximately 160 acres known as the Petersen property. Under a December 2025 court-approved settlement, the Town is obligated to purchase the land for 2900000, with the municipal bond structured through a proposal from Pinnacle Financial Partners after the Town’s existing bank declined financing.
The attorney emphasized that the Town remains under court supervision to complete financing, and Council discussed repayment strategies such as development revenue, property sales, and other mechanisms to limit tax impacts. For vendors, the acquisition signals a major, newly controlled municipal asset with an 11 million assessed value that is expected to support future development, economic growth, and potential infrastructure projects. Near-term conversations could focus on master planning, engineering, environmental assessment, development advisory, and financing strategy services to help the Town monetize or develop the property consistent with its fiscal and community objectives.
The Town is reworking its Concept 1.1 downtown plan, dropping a planned parking garage and shifting to flat paved parking due to funding limits. Administrator McKaba reported that total downtown funding needs exceed $20 million and that they are exploring earmarks and grants (RIA, USDA, etc.), with some award cycles several years out and bonds as a secondary option. This is early-stage capital planning where firms offering grant writing, funding strategy, phasing, design, and program management can help shape scope and financing before procurements are defined.
Resolution 2026/23 authorizes the County Administrator to execute documents and provide funds, up to 42,000,000, to support The Nature Conservancy’s procurement of fee simple real property in the Town of Bluffton, known as the New River Forest. This represents a very large conservation-oriented land acquisition partnership between the County and a major nonprofit.
While this action focuses on acquisition funding, subsequent phases could involve ecological restoration, conservation planning, public access planning, and long-term stewardship. Environmental consultants, ecological restoration firms, and recreation planners can monitor this project as The Nature Conservancy and the County define management plans and potential public components that may require technical services and amenities.
Ordinance 2026-09 is at second reading to authorize up to 4,300,000 in Marion County Public Facilities Corporation Installment Purchase Revenue Bonds (Capital Reimbursements) Series 2026. The proceeds will fund additional improvements to county facilities and ancillary projects, including reimbursement for prior capital improvements.
The ordinance also approves amendments to the Facilities Purchase and Occupancy Agreement and a Second Supplemental Bond Agreement with Truist Bank as purchaser. While the financing vehicle and bond purchaser appear set, the specific facility improvement projects may still require design, construction, and professional services procurements as funds are deployed. Vendors in architecture, engineering, construction, and facility systems can track which buildings and systems are prioritized and prepare to respond to ensuing solicitations.
Council approved a resolution designating 2427530 from the State Accommodations Tax Fund to provide financial assistance for events and projects, based on recommendations from the Accommodations Tax Advisory Committee and the City Manager. Chief Financial Officer Patricia Dennis reported that over 5000000 was requested via applications, and allocations were made according to available funds, with a new impact quantification method developed in partnership with VisitGreenvilleSC.
This indicates an active, competitive grant program supporting tourism-related events, facilities, and marketing efforts that will drive multiple downstream procurements by recipient organizations. Vendors in event production, tourism marketing, data analytics, and economic impact measurement can target both the city (for future program design and metrics) and funded organizations that will need services to deliver their awarded projects.
