Big projects under way

  • Prisma Health Performance Center. The city’s 200,000-square-foot sports and events center on a 26-acre site between South Highway 14 and South Buncombe Road is fully enclosed and on track for a grand opening in early 2027, according to the city’s Oct. 2 update. It will have nine basketball courts that convert to 18 volleyball courts, a championship arena, a community hall, a cafe, a fitness center, an indoor walking track and sports simulators. Prisma Health signed a 10-year, $3 million naming rights deal in August. The center’s website already lists tournaments booked for every month from February to December 2027.
  • Prisma Health Greer Memorial Hospital. Prisma Health announced a $350 million expansion of its Greer Memorial campus in 2025, and in September asked the Board of Zoning Appeals for a variance to put up more and larger signs than the city’s Unified Development Ordinance allows, according to the city’s Sept. 14 update.
  • Public Safety Training Center. The first of the city’s four ForGreer projects opened Sept. 29 as a training hub for Greer police, fire and emergency medical teams.

Also new downtown

  • “Welcome to Greer” mural. Artist Adam Schrimmer of Blank Canvas Mural Company signed his mural on the side of The Great Bay Oyster House, at South Main, Poinsett and Trade streets, on Oct. 9, the city said in its Oct. 12 update. It features the Historic Greer Depot and marks the city’s founding in 1876.
  • “Butterfly Dream.” The city installed its latest commissioned public art piece at the Center for the Arts park, 804 Trade St., the week of Oct. 12.
