  • 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.

So much has happened since the last Newsletter. The first big fundraising event of the year has successfully taken place at the end of September. We had a wonderful Patron Party at the home of Ann and SOVA Roundtable Todd Taylor, and three days touring the five beautiful homes in October 6-7, 2014 Chanticleer/Hidden Hills. Many thanks to Kimberly Cooley and Nikki Zurenko for their wonderful planning and implementation of the Tour of Homes, and to all Guild members, friends, volunteers, sponsors and Two highlights of the meeting were an outside speaker, homeowners who helped to make it happen. You’ll find more of the Jarrod Haning, speaking on “Free Money (if you know how to details on Page 2. ask)” and a panel discussion led by Pam Weaver with four representatives from other non-profit organizations in At the beginning of September, we finally moved our office and we’re feeling comfortable in our new space. There have been issues around Columbia. We all have similar problems and it was inter- gaining access to the office, as sometimes the back door is locked. If you esting to learn how different people approach them. We also come to the front of the office (B-11-1) and knock on the window, had an opportunity to learn about successful projects other Jennifer will open the front door for you.
