Northside Neighborhood Transformation

JHP served as the lead urban planner in partnership with a redevelopment team lead by Columbia Residential as part of a HUD Choice Neighborhood Grant for Transformation / Neighborhood planning of the Northside Neighborhood of Spartanburg, SC. The Northside Neighborhood is an approx. 400ac historic textile mill-town neighborhood immediately to the north of downtown Spartanburg and across from Wofford College. The master plan involved community-wide workshops, multi-day charrettes; numerous stakeholder interviews and discussions along with numerous urban planning/design efforts. The master plan recommends creating a new street grid in appropriate areas; traffic calming and mixed-use redevelopment where the context and scale dictated.
