because we love our town!!

My friend Russel Stall and Greenville Forward were drafted for a very important task for the future of Greenville and we need your help.


Greenville is at an important crossroads in its future. Building upon the successes which started with Vision 2005, we continue to build the excitement in Downtown Greenville and the entire Upstate.



Greenville Forward was created to help us realize the aggressive goals established in Greenville's Vision 2025. As a part of this effort, the City of Greenville asked Greenville Forward to study the role the City of Greenville must play in building a vibrant Downtown. To understand the pivotal issues, we are conducting a series of focus groups with Greenvillians who are most involved with the future of our community. These groups will deeply explore the key ideas, issues, and concerns our most involved residents have with the city.



This is where we need your help. I would like to meet you and a few of your peers for an honest, objective conversation about the future of Greenville, and what we can do as an engaged group of leaders to improve it. We are holding a series of focus groups to explore this at the following times. Please send me an email about which time you would like to attend so I can make appropriate room arrangements.



  • Wednesday, May 10th

    5:30 to 7:00 Piedmont Natural Gas
  • Monday, May 15th

    12:30 to 2:00 Greenville Forward

  • Monday, May 15th

    4:00 to 5:30 Piedmont Natural Gas


This is an opportunity to dream about our future and to have a dramatic impact what policies and programs will be developed in the community. Please call me when you have questions. This is an exciting time in the life of Greenville and we look forward to your participation.
