Is Poinsett Highway Greenville's next hot spot?

'In the coming months, work is expected to begin on a $2.5 million project of street improvements in the urbanized area outside city limits — widened sidewalks, decorative lights, landscaped roadsides, utilities moved from view, all paid for by Greenville County.'

Sprucing up and reclaiming Poinsett Highway up to Cherrydale Point is needed and overdue.

I wonder how long the City of Greenville may extend its limits by annexing northward along the Poinsett Highway corridor.

The first annexation will take in the home of the gigantic Pawn sign! The owner will probably then set up shop outside the new border and put up an even larger sign.

I don't know why that area would support annexation if the County of Greenville is paying for all this streetscaping work.

I could see Greenville County becoming strict like the City of Greenville on regulating which business locate along Poinsett Highway.

Annexation could be an option if the City of Greenville wanted to increase its population and area. The negative would be paying more for services already provided by Greenville County.

I don't think the city can annex any area without support for it.

I don't think the county would be paying for this landscaping, roadwork on Poinsett Highway if there was any possibility the city will annex it.

Would decorative lights planned for Poinsett Highway include decorative traffic signal masts?

They just replaced the ones this spring at Stone Avenue with larger street signs overhead that are backlit after dark.
