Sterling Community Master Plan - Greenville County

Sterling Neighborhood Master Plan July 2010
2.3 Continued Steering Committee and Resident Involvement
Throughout the master planning process, the
Project Team maintained communication
with the Steering Committee and City and
County agencies regarding the progress and
direction of the plan. In addition, there was
continued coordination with interested
partners (housing agencies, churches, civic
organizations, etc.) regarding organization
mission, planned activities, and potential
interest in partnering on specific
revitalization projects. Numerous meetings
occurred with these stakeholder groups in
October, November and December.
2.4 Draft and Final Plan Phases
In early January, the project team presented an update to the Steering Committee. This was
followed in February by two open house meetings. The first was a “marketing and image”
workshop designed to craft a brand identity that would represent Sterling. This was followed
one week later with an interim teamwork session and public open house to share updated
information and receive feedback on recommended strategies for implementing the plan in a
phased manner (1-year, 2 to 5-year, and +5-year strategies).
A subsequent steering committee meeting was held in early March to present the final draft plan,
gather feedback, and outline a plan for a public celebration of the plan. The final plan was
presented in a public meeting on the evening of April 8 th with over eighty stakeholders in
attendance.
