Greenville City Hall Moves to Temporary Location During Renovation

Eight City of Greenville departments are completing their move temporary offices in the NOMA office tower at 220 N. Main St. as preparations begin for construction at City Hall, located at 206 S. Main St.

Over the next two years, the 53-year-old City Hall building will undergo a comprehensive renovation to create a modern, efficient, and accessible home for city services. Departments relocating to the temporary location include:

• Mayor's Office

• City Manager's Office

• Legal Department

• City Clerk's Office

• Communications & Engagement

• Greenville City Economic Development Corporation

• Finance Department

• Parks, Recreation & Tourism Department

Visitors with appointments at the temporary City Hall location should check in with Greenville Cares in the NOMA office tower lobby.

City Council will hold its final meeting at the current City Hall location on Monday, Oct. 26. Beginning Nov. 9, City Council meetings will be held at the Greenville Convention Center, 1 Exposition Drive, in Room 102C.

The final Historic Review Board and Design Review Board meetings at City Hall will take place on Oct. 15. Moving forward, planning-related meetings, including those of the Planning Commission, Historic Review Board, Design Review Board, and Board of Zoning Appeals, will be held monthly at Greenlink's facilities located at 205 Arcadia Drive.

City Hall will be turned over to contractors Reeves and Young beginning in November. United Community Ice on Main will remain in its current location beside City Hall for the 2026 skating season.

“City Hall is at the intersection of two defining districts, and this renovation embraces that overlap with purpose,” Mayor Knox White said. “By extending the energy of Upper Main’s active, mixed‑use corridor and drawing forward the civic character of Court Square, the design blurs the edges between them — creating a ‘new front door’ that signals openness, invites participation and strengthens the connection between the City and its residents.”

The City Hall renovation — designed by DP3 Architects with Perkins & Will — includes a reimagined first floor, with an activated lobby with a coffee shop, expanded public gathering areas, and a direct connection to new City Council chambers relocated from the building's 10th floor to street level.

The changes reflect a broader goal of bringing civic life closer to the community and creating a City Hall that feels less like a traditional government office and more like a welcoming public destination.

“We want City Hall to be a place where our employees feel supported and equipped to do their best work. They’re the ones serving our residents and businesses every day, and they deserve a space that truly works for them,” said City Manager Shannon Lavrin.
