An Upstate developer has signed a contract to purchase the 165-acre state mental hospital campus on Bull Street, one of the most anticipated and significant land deals in city history.
A Greenville developer could agree to buy the former State Hospital campus on Bull Street in about two weeks, according to the broker for the property and an attorney for the state Mental Health Department.
The Columbia City Council on Wednesday is expected to abandon a plan for a historic overlay on the central campus of the State Hospital - a move that could clear the way for a sale of the sprawling property on Bull Street.
