At the Department of Administration (DOA) Incorporation Review Board public meeting held on Tuesday, July 7, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. the DOA staff formally recommended the Town of Greenville incorporation petition met the six (6) criteria required for incorporation and that the incorporation petition should be approved.

The Incorporation Review Board Chairperson, Dawn Vick, stated that she appreciated the review and recommendation of the DOA staff, and the comments from the members of the Incorporation Review Board. She stated the Department of Administration will be finalizing the written determination by July 21, 2020. 

Based on this timeline, it is anticipated an incorporation referendum question will be placed on the November 3, 2020, General Election ballot for all residents located in the incorporating area.  The referendum will be the final step to determine whether the incorporation is approved by the voters within the area of the proposed incorporation.
