Spartanburg "Wish List" for 2020

[roads-scholar]

Jump-starting a new decade with a wish list that is more ambitious than in previous years.

• A new downtown hotel announcement.   (Maybe we'll see movement on the Cambria project?)
• A solid tenant (or tenants) for the Coca Cola building on West Main Street.
• A development announced for the Grain District on Daniel Morgan Avenue south of the AC Marriott Hotel.
• Another downtown apartment / condo project.  Perhaps one that will enhance the skyline. 
• A promising new tenant for the empty Wild Ace building on West Main Street.  
• More development at the Pine / Main intersection.  
• Finally, a quality tenant for the proposed Gibbs office building project at Renaissance Park.
• An announcement regarding Milliken Village (tenants, construction timetable, etc.).  
• A redevelopment plan for Westgate Mall.  
• More housing, affordable and market rate, in the city.  
• Ground broken for Midtown Heights on Wofford Street.

Great list!

I would add: 

Extension of the Rail Trail to Barnett Park. 

Repave East Main with bike lane s from First Baptist to Pine Street.   

More restrictive sign ordinance (similar to Clemson). 

LESS LITTER!!!!!

• A supermarket, either Ingle's or Publix, is announced downtown.  (Ingle's Markets still owns property on John B. White Sr. Boulevard where Ingle's #48 operated.)
• Publix announces additional stores in Spartanburg County.  Boiling Springs and a second Spartanburg store have been hot in speculation.
• Ingle's returns to Lyman with an additional store.  (Ingle's #93 operated on Inman Road before relocating to Duncan in 2003.  It was succeeded by Sav-Mor #893.  Sav-Mor #893 had a brief lifespan.)
• Ingle's #38 on East Main Street in Spartanburg expands and rebuilds.
• Plans for Milliken Village extend beyond its location.  Changes to site plans are possible.
