South Elm Street’s redevelopment reflects the strength of Greensboro’s downtown planning process. Assisted by its 18 member Community Advisory Team and the contributions of numerous businesses, non-profits and citizens, this area will see dramatic changes as the community embarks on a new vision for South Elm Street and a master plan for redevelopment.

Why South Elm Street?
Most of downtown Elm Street continues to thrive with new restaurants, galleries, theaters and residences. Across Lee Street, however, South Elm Street remains dormant. The vacant remnants of its industrial history linger in the Daily Bread Corn Meal Co. Mill and the tattered art deco façade of the Jones Brothers Inc. Bakery, neglected and faded.

We believe that South Elm Street has much more potential.
We believe that it is time for South Elm Street to reawaken

…and we invite you into the redevelopment process. This web site will communicate the progress of redevelopment planning, offer opportunities for your involvement and serve as yet another way for you to talk to us.

Welcome to South Elm Street.
