The City of Greenville is updating its master plan downtown. Proposals are due Wednesday, 17 January. Public input will continue throughout 2018.
Quote:
According to the requests for proposal, the new plan will determine appropriate height and density for downtown; identify strategic places where height is appropriate; evaluate the existing downtown boundary for possible expansion; consider pedestrian connectivity downtown and how better connections can be made across streets; identify opportunities for large, mixed-use developments; and analyze the adequacy of public, open green spaces and make recommendations for future locations.
In addition, the consultant chosen will evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to downtown Greenville.
The plan will include a proposal for the appropriate and sustainable mix of office, retail, residential, hospitality, events, and other uses; determine the right mix of local and national retailers; identify a strategy to ensure local retailers remain downtown; and identify market gaps.
Because the tax increment financing the city had used for projects downtown has dried up, the consultant will be asked to recommend new ideas and programs to help the city prioritize investments and to encourage appropriate and desirable private developments.
