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

Studies in Colorado and Ohio found that properties adjacent to a
local greenway and trail were valued 22 percent and 12 percent,

decision to locate near to it. Read more
