incentives and programs to ensure long-term affordability and will make public improvements.

West Washington Street Master Plan
The consultant team of Wood + Partners, Inc. and Davis & Floyd Engineers was commissioned
to study the impacts of potential public projects on the future character of West
Washington Street and to then prepare streetscape concepts and recommendations.
The West Washington Street study area is approximately 294 acres located on the
northwest side of downtown Greenville, SC. The Team found the West Washington Street
area to have great potential and called for properly designed and placed public
improvements, the removal of industrial land uses and dilapidated non-residential
and residential structures, and the recovery of the Reedy River flood plain as open
space in order to revitalize the area. The plan was completed in October 2005.
