Do Downtown Greenville is an initiative of several downtown

merchants, restaurants, and hotels in partnership with the Greenville

Journal. Our goal is to communicate to residents and visitors alike

everything our downtown has to offer. Downtown Greenville presents

opportunities unlike any other with noteworthy shops, remarkable

restaurants, visual and performing arts venues, beautiful green spaces,

and more. The redevelopment vision of the City of Greenville is to have

“a thriving Downtown which is recognized nationally as an example of

a ‘state-of-the-art’ community in which to live, work, and play… which

serves in itself as a national attraction.” Mission accomplished.

Downtown Greenville is home to 90 shops and 90 restaurants.

If you can’t find it here, chances are it can’t be found!

Another component of Do Downtown Greenville is a focus on all

things local. Shop local. Eat local. Support local. When you shop local,

you help support our community. Many of our friends, neighbors, and

families are employed by, or own, these businesses that bring special

products, services, and variety to Greenville. Make the commitment to

shop local this holiday season and know the joy of supporting

our community – one of the greatest gifts of all.

� e Back of the House Race is one-fi fth of Fall for Greenville’s crowd-pleasing Restaurant Pentathlon, which turns rivalry between local eateries into a spectator sport. � e other events are a Waiters’ Race, Bartenders’ Mix Off , Tent Decorating Contest and Silver Spoon, a taster’s choice determined by professional chefs.

Instead he’s happy to cheer on fellow Table 301ers as they race their counterparts from other popular restaurants.

“(Table 301) has participated for years so it’s something that we get excited about,” Pearson says. “Plus, having bragging rights can be nice!”

BOASTING THE BESTBragging rights are nice, indeed! St.

Launched as a one-day gathering in the early ‘80s, Fall for Greenville has evolved over three decades into a weekend-long extravaganza that draws some 200,000

visitors downtown. � ere’s food and drink galore along with most every fl avor of musical entertainment and a variety of family-friendly fun.

It’s a beautiful Sunday in September – sunny, with a slight but welcome hint of autumn in the air – and Croft Street has been transformed from a downtown roadway into a designated place to play.

Closed to vehicular traffi c from Townes to Wilton, Croft Street is fi lled with kids riding bikes, skateboarding and playing games as the corner park expands its recreational reach out and down the block. Activities include a communal art project, face painting, even a magician, and a quick count estimates a crowd some 100 strong.

� is festive afternoon gathering is the City of Greenville’s fi rst-ever “Playstreets” event, designed to bring playful opportunities into urban neighborhoods by creating safe spaces where the young – and young at heart – can play.

“We’ve reclaimed the street as an additional play space for kids,” says Kevin Stiens of the City of Greenville Parks & Recreation Department, who anticipates Playstreets

becoming a quarterly event that rotates to diff erent neighborhoods throughout 2012. “� is is part of our focus on fi nding more ways to encourage more active children.”

PLAYFUL CITY USA“Playstreets” is just one of myriad

programs and priorities that, all combined, have earned Greenville a 2011 Playful City USA designation from KaBOOM!, a national nonprofi t focused on increasing play opportunities for children.

� e organization is committed to “saving play” in a nation where only one in fi ve children live within walking distance of a park or playground and – because today’s youth spend far less time playing outside than any previous generation – a so-called “play defi cit” exists.

KaBOOM! tapped Greenville for its dedicated emphasis on the importance of play, as evidenced by the City’s comprehensive system of parks, greenways,

public facilities and, especially, recreational choices.

“Here in Greenville, we are fully committed to eliminating the play defi cit by creating and maintaining public spaces that encourage play and outdoor activities,” says Dana Souza, the City’s Director of Parks & Recreation. “We accomplish this through both structured programs and free play opportunities that our parks, trails and events easily accommodate.”

Child’s play is serious business, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. It’s important to healthy brain development and allows kids to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity and physical, cognitive and emotional strength. Many experts say a play defi cit, unchecked, could yield negative physical, mental and social consequences.

� e City of Greenville makes play a priority, and has dedicated resources accordingly.

“� is is visible through the City’s high-quality trail system, the investment in parks and playgrounds, striping new bike lanes, the planting of trees and plants in beautifi cation plots, the nationally recognized special events the City sponsors and organizes, and a renewed emphasis on recreational programming,” Souza says. “All of these combined make Greenville a playful community and a place where people and corporations want to be located.”

A PLAN FOR PLAYAddressing Greenville’s play defi cit is

primarily a matter of making programs more accessible throughout the community, Souza says, and therefore his department has revamped its lineup of sports and leisure activities as part of a new City initiative on wellness, education and recreation.

“I do believe the City’s recent eff orts to off er more (recreational) programs … »

will go a long way in reducing this defi cit,” says Souza. Opportunities range from youth soccer, karate and a running club to drum dancing, hip hop, zumba and yoga in the park.

To earn the Playful City USA designation, the Parks & Recreation Department created an action plan to review all playspaces, identifying ways to make them more inclusive while enhancing options for play and exercise.

With a focus on improving playspace quality, quantity and accessibility, the plan expands the City’s trail system, ensures

playgrounds are ADA accessible, improves park signage and renovates restrooms. Plans also include incorporating the City’s Youth Commission in recreational planning and expanding partnerships with the school district and other community organizations.

“(� e Playful City USA designation) is another award the City has received that recognizes what a wonderful community we have in terms of facilities and events that allow our residents to get outside and have fun,” Souza says. “I think all residents should feel very proud of this award.”

$100 Million Mixed-Use Development Announced For Downtown

do downtownC R E A T I N G M O R E T O

Mayor Knox White and Greenville City Council joined business leaders and a host of elected officials, including Governor Nikki Haley, members of the S.C. legislative delegation and county officials, at Piazza Bergamo today for the announcement of a new $100 million mixed-used development planned for the corner of Main Street and Washington Street. The project is reminiscent of the City’s successful public-private partnerships that resulted in projects like the Hyatt Regency/Greenville Commons in the 1980s, the Peace Center for the Performing Arts in the 1990s and RiverPlace and Fluor Field more recently, and is expected to serve as a critical anchor in the heart of Greenville’s Central Business District.

At today’s event, Hughes Development Corporation unveiled plans for the first phase of the project, known as ONE, and announced

several major tenants, including CertusBank N.A., a federally-chartered financial institution with 32 branches in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, which will establish its corporate headquarters here; Anthropologie, a chain of more than 135 stores featuring women’s apparel and accessories, home furnishings and a variety of other unique items and the law firm of Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd, which will relocate from its current offices at Two Liberty Square.

According to Mayor White, the new development further demonstrates the strength of downtown and addresses a number of the City’s key priorities. “With the ONE project, we are experiencing the rare opportunity to gain new private investment in a new building, attract a corporate headquarters, secure a national retailer and enhance the iconic Piazza Bergamo to both

complement the private investment and create a new destination for downtown

Greenville,” said White. “The City of Greenville has a long history of forging partnerships and has demonstrated its commitment to both supporting private development that can transform our downtown and ensuring wonderful public spaces. This project does both.”

Mayor Pro Tem David Sudduth points to the reputation for vision and innovation that the City and local community and business leaders have earned, not only on a local and regional level, but on a national level, as one of the reasons that Greenville has become a desirable location for corporate headquarters. “The transformational potential of this project for downtown and the city as a whole is incredible, and I believe corporations

like CertusBank N.A. want be here because of who we are and what this community represents,” said Sudduth.

Walter Davis, CertusBank Vice Chairman, has indicated that the company is actively pursuing additional opportunities to expand its presence in other markets, and has predicted that its headquarters in downtown Greenville could one day employ more than 350 workers. According to Vice Mayor Pro Tem Lillian Flemming, the fact that CertusBank is not only establishing its headquarters here, but also plans to invest even more fully in the community is a testament to its commitment to Greenville and could lead the way for similar moves by other companies. “We’re proud that Walter Davis, who is a Greenville native, and his partners determined that Greenville was a good fit for their banking franchise and we look forward to continuing to grow the presence of corporate headquarters here in the city.”

The City’s Design Review Board will review plans for the first phase of ONE and the City will ensure that there is an open and inclusive public participation process for the design of and improvements to the public spaces. City staff will work with the architecture firm 4240 and urban design and landscape architects Civitas to ensure that the public and private components of the

project are master planned and that the Piazza Bergamo achieves it full potential for public use through innovative and unique urban design that will provide yet another memorable place for Greenville residents and visitors alike. The City will fund the design and construction of public spaces bounding the project, including Piazza Bergamo, Laurens Street, North Main Street, West Washington Street and Coffee Street (from Main to Brown), and will appoint a project manager who will work directly with the developer.

Decades ago, the City recognized the need for the public sector to step forward to provide the impetus for private investment, and according to Mayor White, the key to downtown’s continued success has been the City’s commitment to reinvestment in its infrastructure and public spaces. “Not only is this an exciting project in terms of economic development for the city, but it’s also a wonderful opportunity for us to engage the community in the redesign and revitalization of a special public space,” said White. “Engaging our citizens and soliciting public input is a hallmark of the City of Greenville and we are looking forward to this opportunity to continue discussions with our downtown stakeholders and enlist the public’s participation in creating a space that everyone can call their own.”
