- W291277276 abstract "Downtown Greenville, South Carolina, is a striking success story of how a community reinvented itself. This paper describes how the city accomplished its transformation from a declining business district to a sustainable community. In the mid-20th century, Greenville's downtown along Reedy River was no longer a major retail hub and its Main Street was mostly vacant. The riverfront and its unusual waterfall, which cascades through a wooded valley in the heart of town, were polluted and littered. In 1960, a four-lane highway overpass, the Camperdown Way Bridge, was built across the waterfall, obstructing the view of the picturesque falls and creating a barrier to public access. Faced with the declining business district, Greenville leaders chose to partner with private developers to recreate the downtown in a model of sustainable redevelopment. Greenville set out to remake Main Street and create an atmosphere that would be conducive to entertainment and the arts, and attract offices, residential condominiums, and specialty retail businesses. In the process, the city replaced the underused highway overpass with a landmark suspension bridge for pedestrians. Liberty Bridge curves in a sweeping arc just downstream from a natural waterfall and serves as a critical component in transforming Falls Park into a regional attraction and gathering spot. From conception to detailed construction documents took about 3 years, including an extensive review process by city officials and residents. Construction took about 14 months and was completed in 2004. The bridge was paid for primarily through hospitality tax revenues. A new convention center and streetscaping also accelerated development in Greenville. The city estimates a minimum of one million visitors have enjoyed Falls Park since it opened, and potential private investment in the immediate area could reach 10 to 20 times the public investment." @default.
