Funny. How many of you that sign off on these projects so quickly and want more and more enhancements actually pay property taxes in Greenville county. No mention of how they will be paid for just that they will be going before the city and county. My salary certainly doesn't seem to be going up in this economy to afford more taxes. Just wondering who is paying for it.
Well, I live in Spartanburg so there's that. The Bi-Lo Center hasn't had a major renovation since it was constructed and opened in 1998. Technology has changed so much since then that the arena has to keep up with the times so it can land bigger and better events. The current acoustics, lighting, scoreboards, etc. are not only horrible in quality but also severely out of date. If this renovation wasn't done then the major events especially concerts would continue to go to elsewhere like Atlanta and Charlotte while bypassing Greenville. The more events the arena lands, the more people it will bring into town which in turn equals more money being spent in this area on hotels, restaurants, etc. It's economics 101. Definitely worth every penny.

Gman, the arena does need a lot of work but, I don't think concert promoters are looking at Bi Lo as an alternative to Time Warner or Phillips arenas.
Sounds like a place for newborn babies. Oh wait...
