At its bimonthly meeting, March 24, the Greenville City Council approved a resolution ratifying Mayor Dexter McLendon’s signature accepting a contract with Hwashin America, the tier one Hyundai supplier set to locate here, on the city’s behalf.

The city council also rescinded a resolution passed last month that approved an application for an Alabama Department of Economic and Community Development (ADECA)grant for site preparation of the Hwashin property located on Highway 31.

The council then approved a resolution to apply for an ADECA community development block grant in the amount of $500,000 to purchase the 62-acre proposed Hwashin site. The city will match the grant with $100,000.
