Site Cleanup Completed
Environmental remediation on the South Elm Street redevelopment area has required an extended effort which included the removal of 13 underground storage tanks and over 5,800 tons of soil containing coal and debris. The final phase of environmental remediation was completed in September of 2010. After remediation the site was graded and seeded with grass to prevent erosion. When final cleanup reports have been reviewed, NCDENR will give full release of the site, expected in the first quarter of 2011.

Downtown Greenway Moves Forward
The Downtown Greenway is another exciting example of Greensboro moving forward and celebrating what it has to offer. The Greenway will cross through the South Elm development along Bragg Street. Once complete, the Greenway will completely encircle downtown, and significantly improve bike and pedestrian connections with downtown neighborhoods and remove some barriers to getting downtown easily. This will help South Elm play its role in "knitting together" neighborhoods not currently connected with each other and downtown, as mentioned in the Redevelopment Plan.
As the Greenway site says, it will be a great place to walk, ride, explore and connect. Check it out!
