10-year initiative to boost park and trail connectivity
The Greenville Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Greenville program recently welcomed its 40th class, and last week the program announced what it dubbed its new Legacy project. The Legacy project will be a 10-year effort, spearheaded by the program’s alumni, to increase, expand, enhance and connect parks and trails in Greenville.
The new initiative is designed as a way to energize the program’s alumni and “create a lasting impact on Greenville,” said Leadership Greenville Chairman Wil Brasington in a statement. Alumni will work to bolster existing programs and plans throughout the county.
In addition, the Legacy project will provide periodic community updates on goals and seek ways to engage the community, according to the Chamber. “Leadership Greenville Legacy is about helping spark projects, filling in gaps and pushing our community’s growth forward,” Brasington said.
The focus on parks and trails is fitting for the program as, according to the Greenville Chamber, approximately 40 percent of Leadership Greenville past projects were park-related.
