This project is now well under construction: https://www.greenvilleonline.com/sto...ry/4703727001/

Drone pics taken by me a few days ago:

Developers are working on: 
* Developing marketing and engineering designs for future land use.
* Exploring ways to resolve traffic issues around the site. 
* Working with the Governor's School to ensure pedestrian connectivity to the Swamp Rabbit Trail. 

Construction on the office building is underway and estimated to be completed in 2022. Developers will then begin working on a parking deck, with plans to move county government facilities into the new office building in 2023. 

While the county will wait to demolish the current building until offices have moved to the new space, the other buildings will be demolished later this year. Leonard estimates the county and developer will approve the demolitions in the third quarter of 2021.  

A timeline of anticipated moves includes: 
* Greenville County Sheriff's Office moving juvenile investigations, data recovery and sex crimes units to the Law Enforcement Center in first quarter 2021. 
* The DMV moving out in second quarter 2021. 
* Family court moving out in third quarter 2021.
* The health department moving out fourth quarter 2021. 
* County administration moving out in 2023. 

Developers will also start divvying up parcels for land sales to the private sector in fourth quarter 2021. The county and RocaPoint partners will examine each parcel to determine best use and conformity with the area's master plan, as well as sewer and water connections, Leonard said. 

"We're being approached by an awful lot of outsiders right now wanting to be in the project. It's getting a lot of good publicity," he said. "And people appreciate the location and what it could be, and I think, come later this year, we'll have a lot of good options on what we want to do with our land."
