Council moves ahead with Town Common eatery before standing-room-only crowd

The Greenville City Council is taking the next step toward opening a restaurant or cafe on the Town Common, unanimously voting Monday to have staff draft a request for qualifications document to seek designs, financial feasibility and other operational aspects of the project. The vote only came after it was agreed a citizen committee would be established to review the RFQ and applications from private contractors looking to develop the eatery. There were more than 100 people, a standing-room-only crowd, at Monday’s Greenville City Council meeting, the majority being East Carolina University students supporting the Town Common restaurant project. “Town Common is an important gathering place for Greenville, ECU students, family, visitors and residents,” student Sarah Flowers said. “Adding a thoughtfully designed cafe or restaurant could make this park even more welcoming by providing a place for people to meet, enjoy the environment, enjoy the riverfront, visit the playground and attend events at the amphitheater.” An RFQ will allow the city to consider operating proposals while protecting public access, preserving green space and protecting the Town Common, Flowers said. Jill Twark, chairwoman of Friends of the Greenville Greenway, said her organization has previously discussed having pit stops along the greenway
