1998 Designing Our Destiny

Comprehensive Plan

The 1998 "Designing Our Destiny" report, developed by the Greenville County Planning Commission, outlines a comprehensive plan for Greenville’s growth through 2020. The plan emphasizes public input, with over 10,000 resident surveys and community meetings, addressing key concerns: traffic congestion, suburban sprawl, farmland preservation, and school overcrowding. It promotes managed growth by enhancing public infrastructure, coordinating with agencies for zoning and land use, and implementing environmental protections, especially for greenways and water resources. The plan prioritizes sustainable economic development, affordable housing, transportation alternatives, and cultural resource preservation. Regular updates are planned to adapt to evolving community needs, and ongoing citizen engagement is crucial for long-term success.
