The site was rather decrepit and people avoided it before 1965. A City of Greenville press release from 2004 described the space in the mid 1900s as in a severe decline. “The water was polluted and the grounds were littered with river debris and trash.” Adding further insult to the scene was the construction of the Camperdown Bridge which blocked views and access.

In each decade, Greenville has stepped ahead of other cities, acting boldly to reinvent and strengthen the downtown. This proactive approach has served the City well, making Greenville a model for other cities to emulate. As the City well realizes, the work of building and sustaining downtowns is an ongoing endeavor. In this light, the City of Greenville has undertaken this current master plan as a way to look forward and ensure the success of downtown for the next twenty years. The plan faces the realities of downtown today, building on its strengths and confronting issues Figure 1.1. The downtown Greenville Skyline. that must be addressed to move forward. The goals of this master plan are to: . Create a framework for future development downtown . Reinforce the role of downtown as an economic catalyst for the region . Leverage prior successes to move to the next level 4. Create a fully functional mixed use, sustainable, urban environment. Main Street is understood to be the center of downtown but the definition of the outer boundaries varies, especially as Main Street has been extended (Figure .). For the purposes of this study, the downtown area is defined by the Stone Avenue corridor on the north, the Butler Street Corridor on the west, the Church Street corridor on the east and University Ridge and the Stadium on the south.

  • Revitalizing Greenville's West Side
    Revitalizing Greenville’s West Side Overview At the turn of the 20th century, the west side of Greenville, South Carolina, was a thriving commercial district. However, as commercial activity shifted away from cotton, mills along the Reedy River struggled financially, and many Greenville residents left the city. The west side, home to 4,200 people (roughly seven percent of Greenville’s population), became increasingly abandoned or blighted, with derelict manufacturing buildings, textile facilities, and vacant and abandoned service stations.1 While a series of Federal, State, local, and private investments in Greenville’s west side neighborhoods in the late 1990s and early 2000s began to incrementally increase economic activity, improve housing, and generally create amenities and destinations throughout the neighborhoods, the projects were conducted in relative isolation. Building upon these individual project’s successes, the city is hoping to increase economic benefits by linking and coordinating development efforts. Key results of investment in the west side include: Developing Falls Park and the Liberty Bridge created a regional attraction on the west side and spurred local investment, including the nearby $65 million RiverPlace mixed‐use development; Gross business sales in the neighborhood increased from $243.8 million in 2000 to $401.2 million in 2008;2 The area has experienced a 300 percent increase in property tax revenue from 2002 through 2012;3 Construction of Fluor Field, a minor league baseball stadium, funded through a public-private partnership on a formerly contaminated site, has led to over $91.5 million in private development on the neighboring blocks,4 contributing to the 31 percent annual increase in property value in the West End since 2006;5 Redevelopment of several west side vacant or unused properties into productive facilities serving the community, including construction of the Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center (Kroc Center) and the A.J.

  • Greener Streets
    Greenville’s Greener Streets A Compilation of Interdisciplinary Educational Programming Designed to Introduce Students to the Benefits of Trees in the Urban Environment Developed for Greenville, South Carolina By Livability Educator, Jaclin DuRant Greenville’s Greener Streets Program A compilation of educational programming related to trees in the urban environment developed by the Livability Educator for the City of Greenville. Though often overlooked, trees are an essential part of a healthy urban environment. Trees clean our water and air, cool our homes, help our streets last longer, provide habitats for animals, and much more. Helping students develop a familiarity with and an appreciation for the benefits that trees provide us will enhance their connection to the place where they live, and encourage them to protect and conserve trees. The lessons, information, and materials in this program have been compiled from the Urban Naturalist Program and the Community Quest Program, part of the Curriculum for Sustainability that was developed by the Livability Educator for the City of Greenville. This compilation was developed as part of a Green Streets Grant from TD Bank. Acknowledgments This program would not have been possible without the hard work and support of a number of individuals. I would especially like to thank Amanda Leblanc, A. J. Whittenberg Elementary School Librarian for her help in developing programming, her support, and her friendship, the Connections for Sustainability Project team; Wayne Leftwich and Christa Jordan, and the Green Streets Project team; Ginny Stroud, Sarah Cook, and Dale Westermeier for all of their help and support, Emily Hays for her fabulous attitude, helpful edits, and for her hard work developing the program glossary, and all of the teachers and community center staff who have allowed me to work with their students to create and test activities that would be effective and fun for many different age groups.
