Sterling Neighborhood Master Plan July 2010 Urban League of the Upstate, Inc. (www.urbanleagueoftheupstate.org): The Urban League of the Upstate’s Housing and Supportive Services Center is a HUD-approved housing counseling entity. The organization also operates Gandy Allmon Manor I and II on Memminger Street, which provide 59 units of affordable senior housing. 8.2 Organizational Recommendations 8.2.1 Short Term: 2010-2011 • Create a “plan implementation” position. This person would be responsible for implementing all facets of the plan and coordinating with the many agencies and partners involved in Sterling. This position would also work closely with but not duplicate the efforts of the Director of Community Relationship Building at Bon Secours St. Francis. Over time, this position might evolve into a more permanent housing resource officer to coordinate housing issues for residents of Sterling and all neighborhoods of Greenville. Potential staffing and funding partners include the City and GCRA as well as various non-profits and churches. • Obtain organizational 501(c)3 status and develop an annual work plan. The task of master plan implementation should process under the aegis of a nonprofit organization. This organization would be responsible for hiring plan implementation staff and would be eligible to receive charitable contributions used to fund neighborhood development projects and initiatives. The 501(c)3 designation would also require the creation of annual plans, reports, and regular progress reports. These suggestions would formalize implementation efforts and would ensure that resources are allocated towards effective programs. • Develop a plan for the long-term role of the Sterling Phoenix League in the neighborhood. The Sterling Phoenix League has done a remarkable job of uniting all of the agencies and partners involved in Sterling. The future of the Phoenix League should be carefully considered to ensure that some sort of ongoing coordination happens for all of Sterling. Although the Phoenix League itself may not continue to exist as the organization of choice, the neighborhood will nevertheless require a body to orchestrate neighborhood activities and develop a shared community vision. • Conduct semi-annual neighborhood meetings to update community on master plan progress. The City of Greenville’s Community Development Department and the Greenville County Redevelopment Authority should conduct twice-yearly updates to Sterling Residents to let them know how the plan is progressing, answer questions, and provide a forum for dialogue on changing and emerging issues. • Consider creating a special Sterling Policing Task Force and Neighborhood Substation to coordinate efforts of Sherriff’s Department and Greenville City Police. Several years ago both the Sheriff’s Department and the Greenville City Police conducted joint operations in the neighborhood. The two agencies should consider re-instituting this practice for the coming few years to clear out the remaining criminal elements in Sterling. Furthermore, the Sheriff’s Department should consider the development of a substation (which could be 65 Continuing the community legacy and leadership

Both the City of Greenville and the Greenville County Planning Department are in the process of implementing new zoning practices that will have great positive impacts on Sterling. The zoning categories for the community currently do not coincide with the recommendations of this plan. Both the City and the County should explore new zoning categories to apply in this neighborhood. 8.2.2 Medium Term: 2012-2015 • Continue ongoing meetings to update the neighborhood on master plan progress. • Continue to support the Phoenix League’s effort to foster communication among different groups in the community. 66 Continuing the community legacy and leadership
