Applications
This is a summary of all projects of the GCHNRT, including projects whose details can’t be announced yet.
As is vital in any real estate transaction, the Trust is cautious to protect confidential information until the parties have executed their real estate transactions. Until a Project is closed on between a property owner and the Eligible Entity, we will withhold identifying project information.
The Trust’s Grants Committee reviewed and ranked each project against criteria outlined in the Trust’s establishment ordinance and other pertinent measures. This summary has been posted on the Trust website to allow for public input and afford information to members of the County Council. The long-term goal is to identify and fund worthy projects in each Council district.

Methodology: The Trust reports its return on county investment as the ratio of total real estate value protected to net county dollars invested. Total real estate value includes appraised property values and any additional real estate value created by the project. Net county investment reflects the Trust's board-approved grants minus contributions from outside partners (such as the Community Foundation of Greenville and the Greenville Water Grant program) that offset the county's share. This methodology reflects the Trust's actual county-dollar efficiency: every dollar of outside partnership reduces the county's exposure while preserving the same real estate value.
