So, Kate and I just watched a cool video that Russell put together a couple of years ago that contained interviews from random Greenvillians about what they like and don't like about living in Greenville. The answers are wide ranging. Everything from the amenities we have here to the problem with transportation (and, it's still raging).
So, I think, soon Kate and I might hit the street again to talk to you again. This could be an interesting experiment. We can see what perceptions have changed in the last couple of years or so. Where do people stand now on the transportation issue? How do they feel about the state of Greenville? What does Greenville need to do to move in the right direction? What is the definition of the "right direction"?
Last week we released a study that was done in partnership with The City of Greenville. This study was a survey of City of Greenville residents about quality of life issues. It was done as part of the City's Comprehensive Plan initiative, and is an effort to involve the citizens in the planning process. The interest was high and the participation was extraordinary.
The results of the study were very positive, but there are still issues we face in our community that need to be addressed. Overall, the majority of respondents feel that the quality of life in Greenville has vastly improved over the last five years.
So, moving forward, we need to appreciate our surroundings and relish where we have come from, but we also must not ever stop looking forward to what we can be. We should, continually, ask ourselves the tough questions, challenge ourselves to make things better and work toward an inclusive, vibrant community for all. Greenville is moving toward this and with the enthusiasm of her citizens we will get there faster than most.

Enjoy and have a great day.
