The mission of the Street Department is to provide the City of Greenwood with a maintained and safe transportation system.  Major functions of the department include: minor street resurfacing, brush pick-up, recycling, street sweeping, mowing public right-of-ways, and overall street maintenance.

If you find problems with City streets in Greenwood, such as pot holes, down or damaged street signs, or drainage problems, please contact us.  If you call the Main Office and no one is available to take your call, please leave us a message on our voice mail.
