In the words of John E. Davis of South Carolina Wildlife, "Our love of the land is fierce, our belief in the independence of the individual unshakable. Products of an agrarian society wilting under the heat of change, we are eager to bask in the wealth of development, yet desperate to hold onto our Southern roots -- our sense of place."

| Vision Goals |
 |
Keep the Green in Greenville. Set standards which maintain water courses, trees, and greenways. |
|
Keep the village in Greenville. Villages include all municipalities, as well as Furman University, Westside mill villages and other key points in the county. Create within each village, places where people want to gather, and enhance those places with public art and architecturally significant structures. Commit to historic preservation of significant places. |
|
Develop a comprehensive plan that connects all major villages with a system of gateways, greenways and boulevards that include trees, public art and fountains. |
|
Enhance development guidelines that limit sprawl and provide less reliance on the automobile. |
|
Continue to create major public attractions in downtown Greenville like the Peace Center and Reedy River Park. Opportunities include a baseball stadium, noteworthy fountains, public art, movie theaters, and so on. |
| Benchmarks |

Each city is master planned with a signature project. |
|
Redesign transportation corridors with medians, trees, public art, and fountains. |
