Sterling Community Master Plan - Greenville County

Sterling Neighborhood Master Plan July 2010
As a result of the multiple discussions with residents and interests, several common themes
surfaced:
• Crime and safety are major concerns of residents that must be a part of Master Plan
recommendations;
• Key strengths of the neighborhood are: children and families, the legacy and history of
Sterling, and the Sterling Community Center;
• There is a need for improved homes, increased home ownership opportunities, improved
rental properties, and multiple choice of housing for persons of all ages;
• The poor physical condition of streets, stormwater management, sidewalks, and pedestrian
access and safety must be addressed;
• Increased economic opportunities must be available to provide residents with jobs and
services, and to sustain pride in Sterling; and
• Implementation and the long-term success of the Master Plan will require continued
coordination of recommended strategies and strong partnerships between residents,
organizations, and public agencies.
