The city of Greenville reaching a population of 70,000 should be within reach.

I could see annexation northward along Poinsett Highway toward Cherydale and eastward along Wade Hampton toward Taylors. I wonder if it would run into problems with special purpose districts like Parker District and Wade Hampton Fire and Sewer District.

70k is a town, not a city. I was in Greenville recently and really liked it, but honestly 70k? I live in Broomfield CO and we're right at the same size.

The urban area of Greenville is over 400,000 people.

Assuming the info on Wikipedia is true, the Greenville MSA had 884,975 people in 2016, making it the largest in SC and 3rd largest in the Carolinas.

Greenville County is the most populated in the state, and has about 90,000 more people than the second most populated county.

Yeah, Greenville being 70,000 is a joke. I understand it's just the city limits but it's incredibly misleading. We're definitely in the mid-sized city range. Heck, US & World Report includes it in their 100 largest metropolitan areas (believe it uses that ~800,000 number) for Best Places to Live (we were the 29th best in the most recent survey BTW).

Do your homework. Bloomfield is a consolidated city/county with a population of about 60,000. Greenville County has a population of about 500,000. We are more than 8 times larger than your little county.
