Greenville Annexes Woodruff Road | Greenville News

Greenville City Council just approved a major annexation of 135 acres along Woodruff Road — home to Sam’s Club, Chick-fil-A, and the Merovan Business Center — positioning it as a smart growth move to tackle traffic, boost services, and bring existing areas under city planning. With over $4.5 million already invested in traffic tech, officials promise smoother commutes and faster emergency response. Local businesses and workers are hopeful, while a looming 1% sales tax hike could affect shoppers. The plan still needs a second council vote and has been in the works for over a year, with property owners already largely on board — and the city already owns nearby land like The Shops at Greenridge.
