$18.2M Morgan Square makeover gets final OK in Spartanburg

The $18.2 million redevelopment of Spartanburg's Morgan Square has received its final nod of approval by city council, with construction set to begin in the new year. The redevelopment will increase the square's footprint by 30%, transforming the heart of downtown Spartanburg. The redesign will include more trees, two water features, a small stage for performances, and about 30% more total space, as previously reported by the Spartanburg Herald-Journal . It will also expand pedestrian access by permanently closing West Main Street and East Dunbar Street to traffic around the square. At a Nov. 9 meeting, Spartanburg City Council gave final approval to the funding plan for the project, which will come from obligation bonds paid for by the city's 2% hospitality tax on prepared food and drink. The city has paid for several capital projects, including the St. John Street public parking garage and the Dr. T.K. Gregg Community Center, using the same funding mechanism, according to communications director Christopher George. Spartanburg resident Andy Draght spoke in support of the Morgan Square project on Nov. 9, recalling sitting in the square when he and his wife decided to move to the city. “It’s already a special place, just the
