Comprehensive Plan

The 1978 "Choices: General Development Plan for Greenville" outlines a structured approach to guide future growth and development. Funded by HUD, the plan advocates a sector, settlement, and service center model to control suburban sprawl, increase land-use efficiency, and support community amenities. Key goals include managing residential and commercial expansions, preserving environmental assets, and promoting economic stability through designated industrial zones. The plan proposes creating greenways, encouraging denser housing, and reducing strip commercialization along main arteries. Specific objectives for 1979-80 address zoning, neighborhood revitalization, and environmental safeguards, with a strategy for periodic updates to remain responsive to Greenville’s needs.
