Mike Green elected in West Columbia

Posted

West Columbia City Councilman Mike Green has been elected to his first full term. Before that, he served the remainder of former District 1 Councilman Dale Harley’s term. Harley died in March 2017. “I have enjoyed it,” said Green. “There have been ups and downs.” Green also said it can be hard to get 5 of 9 council members to agree sometimes. But he said he feels council is a cohesive unit. “A vast majority of council is getting together,” said Green. “We talk to each other a lot.” Green said he does not feel he has made a major impact on council, but he is learning. He said the most-important issue for him is to get Wilton Road repaired. It was damaged in the 2015 flood. Green said development is another priority for council and he feels the new Brook-land complex is progressing. The enabling park near Riverwalk is another positive project. Developing the Triangle City area, attracting new businesses and revitalization, are important initiatives. The Jarvis Klapman – 12th Street area has not gotten as much attention as some other areas, he said. Green said his work keep taxes lower is another accomplishment he is glad he could contribute.
