Interested in downtown Greenville’s future? The draft master plan is now available for review.
The City of Greenville has hired Urban Design Associates, an international urban design and architecture firm headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to develop a strategic master plan for downtown Greenville. The objectives of the plan are to attract and retain businesses, residents, and visitors while ensuring the uniqueness and authenticity of downtown; position downtown for the attraction and retention of a workforce for the new economy, and continue the right blend of development and redevelopment.
The planning process is expected to take six months and the project team will work with a variety of downtown stakeholders – including property owners, residents, businesses, developers, philanthropies and elected officials – to develop a unified vision and comprehensive implementation strategy. In addition to Urban Design Associates, the project team also includes Hawkins Partners (landscape architecture/public space design); HR&A Advisors (market analysis); Thomas & Hutton (civil engineering); and Walker Parking (parking strategy).
The plan is expected to be completed in early 2019.
