Village of West Greenville Micro-Area Plan

The Village of West Greenville Micro Area Plan is an effort to unlock the area’s potential as a node within the City of Greenville that is a welcoming, diverse, vibrant, artistic community.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

With GVL2040 in mind, the City of Greenville and Wernick & Co. focused on four guiding principles in creating the plan:

  • Maintaining the Village’s authentic character 
  • Reinforcing its unique identity
  • Facilitating a mix of uses and services
  • Planning for inclusive growth

ALIGNMENT WITH GVL2040 PRIORITIES

Picture ‘nodes’ as mixed-use community hubs that feature housing, employment opportunities, and a wide variety of retail, services, and community functions.

The creation of a new zoning district would allow the Village of West Greenville to grow as a vibrant hub and keep its authentic character. A unique framework for the area would reinforce that identity and provide for a wide range of uses and services as well as unconventional, artistic neighborhood needs.
