Project Update

Urban planning group PLUSURBIA DESIGN revealed what the future of the Greenville Gateway could become on Tues., Oct. 18.

After a series of community meetings and a survey earlier this year (which received 479 responses), the urban design group designed a future look for specific areas of the corridor, including:

Bon Secours Wellness Arena
East North Street (at the end of I-385 + continuing past The Well)
Pettigru Historic District

Some of the most notable changes proposed include transforming East North Street with trees, bike lanes + additional apartments and shifting Bon Secours Wellness Arena’s entrance into a pedestrian-friendly entertainment hub with restaurants and outdoor space.

Introduction to the Greenville Gateway Project

Picture this: you’re visiting Greenville and you just jumped into your Uber or Lyft to make your way downtown from Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport. As you come off of I-385 onto East North Street and look out the window, it’s possible you wouldn’t know that you’re just a mile from the heart of #YeahTHATGreenville.

Enter: Greenville Gateway.Since we mentionedwe mentioned this new initiative, one that aims to reimagine the entrance to downtown from I-385 with features like pedestrian walkways, a plaza, restaurants, and housing.

Today, we’re talking specifics and how you can get involved.

The project, initiated by the owners of local automotive marketing agency DOM360, focuses on a specific corridor of Greenville between these streets:

North Church Street
East Washington Street
Atlas Street
Sunflower Street
Richland Way
