Fixes a priority for Old Town

Greenwood’s Old Town revitalization plans likely will involve a major overhaul of the infrastructure downtown, much of which would be a few years off.

Residents could walk on new sidewalks, drive on new streets and not have to worry as much about flooding.

Mayor Mark Myers hopes to upgrade most of the infrastructure in an area roughly between Broadway Street to the north, Home Avenue to the south, Meridian Street to the east and Market Plaza to the west. The city should rebuild the streets, sidewalks, sewers and stormwater drains and pipes before launching efforts to lure new development, Myers said.
