An outdoor amenity terrace + a pool deck over parking
A public plaza facing North Church Street
A residential lobby

Miami-based NR Investments, which helped develop Miami’s Arts + Entertainment District, says it fell in love with Greenville when visiting and told WYFF 4, it hopes this project is “a new district that will have its pillar as the arts and as the entertainment.”
This project would take over the former Greenville Memorial Auditorium location — 250 N. Church St. — which was demolished in 1997 + the new site plans are scheduled to be reviewed by the Design Review Board on Thursday, April 18. If approved, construction is scheduled to begin in early 2025.

Updates on the Augusta Street Safety Improvement Plan

A second draft of the “Augusta Street Safety Improvement Plan” — a future project that has neighbors and business owners talking — has been released after a public meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 27.
We’re breaking down the changes and letting you know how to share your feedback with city leadership.
What’s new
Originally, the plan proposed a “road diet” (think: reducing traffic in a specific area) to the northbound lane in the commercial section. Several business owners were concerned about this change, and it is no longer being considered.
Additionally, access management strategies (think: raised medians + driveway closures) were planned for the commercial section, but after hearing from local businesses, these strategies have been reduced. However, raised medians are still being considered.
Medians in the residential area are still proposed, but those plans have been “significantly reduced.”
