The pandemic has not slowed down construction of the County Administration building or the rest of the University Ridge Development project. The Upstate Business Journal features the plans for the 37-acre "park-like" project.

Construction fencing is up and site work has begun on the area that will eventually house the County Administrative Building. Over the next few months, residents will see the groundwork being laid for a walkable environment that will be a vibrant extension to downtown Greenville.

In 2019, Greenville County and partners held several community meetings that included presentations and question and answer segments. The information presented is available here and includes topics relating to Zoning, Traffic, Process and Timing, and Objectives.
