1997 West Washington Revitalization Strategy

Area Plan

The 1997 "West Washington Street Revitalization Strategy" by LDR International, Inc. proposes a redevelopment plan for the West Washington corridor in Greenville, focusing on enhancing community spaces and supporting economic growth. The plan divides the corridor into three zones: the Downtown Transition, Community Core, and Neighborhood Commercial Area. Recommendations include creating elderly housing and recreational spaces in the Community Core and establishing service-oriented businesses near the train station. Infrastructure improvements, such as expanded sidewalks, street trees, and pedestrian crossings, are suggested to improve accessibility and neighborhood aesthetics. A business incubator and public art are proposed to strengthen local identity, and community involvement is emphasized throughout. The City’s Department of Community Development is recommended to lead efforts in coordination with stakeholders.
