Cradled at the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and once known as the "Textile Center of the South," Greenville has evolved into a prosperous hub for corporate development and global commerce. Greenville County's African American community, proud and resourceful, has strong roots dating back to 1770, when blacks helped to carve the county out of an upstate wilderness. The experiences of the black community and its long relationship with whites up to the civil rights movement helped to create the climate for the kaleidoscope of races and cultures in Greenville today.
Greenville: The well-kept gem of South Carolina. Visitors from everywhere have hailed downtown Greenville as one of the best in America. From its tree-lined Main Street to its bustling riverfront, the city inspired numerous other cities to try and duplicate its success. Using unique public-private partnerships, the revitalization of downtown Greenville was a true collaborative effort that helped to create a walkable and viable downtown. Once considered just a business-only town, Greenville has emerged as a metropolitan destination. In this updated edition, authors John Boyanoski and Mayor Knox White detail the toils and tribulations necessary to create a world-class city.
As in many local government agencies, the Greenville County Public Works department faces challenges and obstacles to the development of sustainable communities. In addition to the unique demographic challenges of Greenville County, Public Works staff face the common pitfalls of working across multiple disciplines. This applied professional project will integrate concepts and tools from the disciplines of sustainable development, community development, environmental psychology, and public health to increase the County's capacity to overcome these obstacles within its unique local context. Technical assistance will be rendered during three sessions or modules with Public Works staff members, who will finish the sessions with concrete tools to better understand community problems and identify sustainable solutions. Module 1 will equip County staff with the tools to conjointly define terms, establish a common problem definition, and identify existing resources that promote community wellness. Module 2 will provide training and resources related to data analysis and program evaluation. Module 3 will apply the principles of behavioral economics to promote civic participation and policy compliance, as well as equip staff with a framework for strategic communications planning.
