The city completed a seven-month design process utilizing public feedback to plan the wheelsports park. Greenville Mayor Knox White said in a statement that reaching this stage of the project represents an exciting milestone as the city moves towards the project’s construction.
“This is something our community has been asking for – and championing – for many years,” White said. “We saw tremendous public engagement throughout the design process, and we’re ready to deliver the next unique and engaging park in Greenville.”
According to the city, the selected firm will work with the architects and designers during the project’s pre-construction phase. The construction manager will be responsible for managing the project’s construction, which is expected to begin in 2027. The firm will also assume any risk if the project goes over budget.
