Area Plan

The 2002 "Green Avenue Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy" by the City of Greenville's Community Development Division aims to restore the historic Green Avenue neighborhood through housing, economic development, and infrastructure improvements. Key proposals include acquiring and redeveloping vacant parcels, building 96 affordable and market-rate homes, and rehabilitating 48 existing units. The plan emphasizes traffic calming, sidewalks, enhanced lighting, and green spaces to improve safety and connectivity. Economic strategies focus on job training and housing counseling to support residents' employment and homeownership. The strategy also prioritizes resident involvement, aiming to preserve the neighborhood’s identity while addressing concerns over gentrification. Collaborative efforts with local organizations are essential for sustainable progress.
