Proposed Hotel Complex on Paris Mountain
- Details
- By Frank Holleman - President, Naturaland Trust
EDITOR: The following letter was sent to the Mayor and City Councilmen of the City of Travelers Rest.
----------------------
Dear Mayor Amidon and Members of Council:
I am writing you on behalf of Naturaland Trust to convey our perspective on the proposed hotel development on the face of Paris Mountain on Altamont Road. We understand that no application has been submitted to you as of yet, but from press reports the developer intends to do so. We write to urge you to reject this proposal if it is presented to you.
First, let me emphasize that Naturaland Trust has for decades enjoyed working with neighborhoods and families around Travelers Rest and with the City of Travelers Rest to protect special places and the beautiful natural heritage of the area. Among other things, Naturaland Trust and the members of its Board have played key roles in establishing Poinsett Park; acquiring and opening the Swamp Rabbit Trail; acquiring key segments of the Swamp Rabbit Trail both south and north of Travelers Rest; protecting the Spring Park Inn; and protecting a number of properties around Travelers Rest, including nature preserves for the endangered Bunched Arrowhead and conserved properties along the Saluda Rivers. We have also worked successfully with Council and the City’s Planning Commission to protect populations of the Bunched Arrowhead when developments have been proposed in the City and are in the process of cleaning up and restoring the preserve to be established at the corner of Coleman and East Bowers Road.
Greenville Housing Fund Representatives Address Affordable Housing at First Monday
- Details
- By Terry M. Thacker
The goal of the Greenville Housing Fund is to achieve housing affordability for all, said Tiffany Santagati at the recent meeting of First Monday, a luncheon club for Greenville Republicans.
Santagati, the vice president for operations at the Fund, and Amber Stewart, Advocacy and Community Engagement Director, were the featured speakers at the luncheon which consisted of chicken breast, roasted sweet potatoes, and carrots.
The Fund, a non-profit entity, was established in 2018 to address what Santagati describes as a deficit in affordable housing in Greenville. The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines affordable housing as housing (plus utilities) that costs no more than 30% of a household's gross income.

Women and Children's Home Robbed in Memphis
- Details
- By Warriors Center
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- David Vincent, Warriors Center CEO, releases the following and is available for comment:
"A few weeks before Christmas, Warriors Center acquired an abandoned nursing home building in Memphis with a plan to start a 180-bed program for homeless women and children. What happened after we were given the keys was a tragedy.
“We unknowingly walked right into an active crime scene. There were burglary tools and saws all over the floor. There were piles of copper wire scattered around in piles everywhere. We saw bullets and shell casings all over the floor in the hall, which told us that the culprits had guns. Then we looked up as strange men with hoodies started walking out of rooms obviously high on Meth. I shouted at them that the police were on the way, and we exited our building immediately.
Greenville County VS Greenville City Contractors: What to Know
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Greenville County Councilman, District 19
In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, both the City of Greenville and Greenville County have been diligently working to clear storm debris. However, their cleanup schedules differ significantly! Since we share the same first name, I wanted to highlight the differences between the two! The City has announced that its final debris collection will conclude in the next few weeks, while the County plans to continue collections well into the new year. Understanding these differences in timelines, as well as the guidelines for preparing debris, can help ensure your debris is collected efficiently and avoid any misunderstanding surrounding their respective schedules!
