CVS will break ground on a new freestanding store at North Main and Fairview streets within the next four weeks. The new location will replace the current one adjacent to Bi-Lo.

Though it is another CVS going up, it is going up in a prime location downtown. It is in walkable distance of some close neighborhoods.

It is unclear what tenant may move into the current CVS when it moves. Bi-Lo is rumored to be expanding.

Fountain Inn has been working on developing a streetscape plan to bring more parking and foot traffic into downtown. A study was recently ongoing to finalize a master plan. I am unaware of its current status.

A recent ariticle states work on landscaping three entryways for North Main, South Main and Fairveiw streets are ready to undergo construction.

A backburner idea of narrowing Main Street to three lanes was brought up for consideration.

[Chickenwing]

Narrowing Main St would be a step in the right direction. Hopefully they can get it done.

[GSP Tiger]

Main Street receives much traffic to warrant its need to maintain its four lanes. It will be more effective to build a parking lot/deck somewhere and encourage walking.

Fountain Inn is not in or near Anderson.

This was mistakenly moved to the Anderson subforum; it was in the South Carolina forum when it should have technically been in the Greenville subforum. Thread moved.
