A character-based approach to land use in Greenville, North Carolina

By August 4, 2015January 30th, 2019Project Updates

Greenville, North Carolina is the cultural, economic, and educational hub of the state’s eastern coastal plains region. For years, the city and surroundings have maintained strong growth despite a sluggish state and national economy. To continue to proactively guide growth, the city has hired Clarion Associates with Planning NEXT to undertake a major update to its comprehensive plan.

Planning NEXT will develop the plan’s future land use element (citywide) using a character-based approach that will provide better clarity about the community’s intent for how development should look and function in different parts of the city. In addition to the citywide land use plan, we’ll develop four small area plans that address a range of urban design and land use conditions.
