New plans, who’s this? The Haynie-Sirrine neighborhood master plan is being updated by City of Greenville staff based in part from input from community comments and feedback. It should be complete by this summer.
What can we expect to see in the updated plan?
- A roadway connection between Dunbar + Church Streets

- Mixed-use development (potentially adding affordable housing) along Church + Augusta Streets
- Protection and preservation efforts for existing housing
- Ideas for acquiring land that can be transformed into green space or affordable housing
- Improvements to transportation and infrastructure like a multi-use path that would connect both sides of Church Street
