There are many skeptics' posts, and perhaps that is good. But Greenville has achieved success in this arena before. It's not a city vs county capability issue. It's a citizen support issue. Here is my support: I am purchasing one of the gateway properties to the Poinsett District. I expect to develop this property in keeping with the plans as I have seen them so far. Properties in this area are a bargain right now. Yes there are some scattered day-job firms, donation centers, etc. But these folks move on when values increase - just as they always do. There are also some really interesting little buildings and companys (Lucky Bike is a great example). I have enough investing experience to know that NOW is the time to get in - not a year from now. But more importantly I also know that support is what gets things done - not just money or lobbyists or burying power lines. It's gonna be good folks - support your surroundings!.
