Greenville's New Five Corners Plan

The Greenville South Carolina City Council has reviewed the Master Plan for Downtown Greenville. The plan looks at all aspects of Greenville, present, past and then proposes steps to take to move Greenville into an even brighter future. Goals of the Master Plan are: Provide a framework for future development, continue to place Downtown Greenville as a catalyst for economic development, leverage Greenville's success to move up and Build a fully functional mixed use, sustainable urban environment.

Moving forward a Five Corners approach is put forth as a solution and goal to growing Downtown Greenville. While the Main Street has a definite identity and is a destination creating five corners to the downtown area gives the space more variety, opportunities to explore and interest with strong connections to Main Street.

Greenspace will be a very important element in the new plan uniting the five corners to the center. Investment in parks bring value to the surrounding real estate with access to recreation, views and a better living quality. The Green spaces also give a golden opportunity to announce Greenville as a "Green" city.
