Another ForGreer project is well underway, and this week we celebrated the momentum with a ceremonial groundbreaking of the city's new Sports & Events Center.
The Greer Sports & Events Center will allow for the growth of existing programming while providing the resources needed to introduce new opportunities to the community as well.
While this state-of-the-art facility will host travel teams and boost local revenue through sports tourism, the center’s primary purpose will always be to serve the heartbeat of Greer - our community.
