Downtown Greenway
The second Image, of the Prescott St section, is just behind the 413 N Cedar Street property.
How will the Greenway benefit neighborhoods in and around downtown?
The Greenway will connect more than a dozen neighborhoods in and around downtown Greensboro. It will provide an additional amenity for people who live in those neighborhoods, and also make it easier for them to get to other points in downtown. The Greenway will also boost the social connectedness of those neighborhoods by offering them a common space where residents will have more chances to meet one another and interact.
Economic Development
Trails and greenways have a well-established record of positively influencing community and economic development. For example: Studies in Colorado and Ohio found that properties adjacent to a local greenway and trail were valued 22 percent and 12 percent, respectively, higher than properties farther away from those trails. Trails in downtown Winter Garden, Fla., and Dunedin, Fla., are credited with helping drive up occupancy rates and revitalize the downtown areas. A study of businesses along the Missouri River State Trail found that 20 percent of those surveyed cited the trail as influencing their decision to locate near to it.
