Knox White has served as the Mayor of Greenville since 1995. In this episode, we discuss Greenville's identity and how the city has changed over the years. Over the course of his time as Mayor, he has played a key role in planning and executing the projects that have made the city what it is today, including Falls Park, Fluor Field, the Poinsett Hotel, and Unity Park, which is set to open next spring. Despite both political and policy challenges — public opinion was initially recalcitrant about Falls Park, and the city has gone from having a lack of quality housing to a lack of affordable housing — Knox White has made improving his hometown his life's work.
