  • Greenville Forward's
    20102010 A REPORT ON THE STATUS OF VISION 2025 Greenville County Then and Now To Plan the Future; We Must Remember Our Past Peace Center We are all proud of Greenville. Located in one of the most beautiful natural areas of the United States, it anchors one of the strongest economies in the Southeast. Greenville is grounded in a spirit of entrepreneurship, far-sighted leadership, and openness to the ideas and contributions of outsiders. With a cost of living well below the national average, a strong work ethic, and strong family values, Greenville is consistently listed as one of the country’s best places to live. Max Heller Lake Conestee We like to dream about our future in Greenville. In the Main Street Greenville spring of 1987, the Greater Greenville Chamber of Commerce created a task force to address the question BEFORE “What do we want to be in the year 2005?” Under the leadership of then Mayor, Max Heller, the diverse 75-member group developed a document called Vision 2005: Greenville, The Journey Forward. Six focused Hughes Library areas were addressed: Economy, Livability, Infrastructure, Community, Government, and Leadership. Vision 2005 cited twenty specifi c goals for shaping the Greenville community and forecasted exciting new projects. Many of these projects were achieved; a performing arts center and Upstate coliseum, a new research park, Downtown Baseball removal of the Camperdown Bridge and the Reedy River walk, a Governor’s School for the Arts, and deeper protection of the environment. In AFTER 1987 this extensive list of projects looked more like a wild dream than reality.
