Greensboro’s Art-Dotted Greenway a Respite During COVID-19, and an Economic Engine After

As COVID-19 sweeps the world, outdoor activities in cities large and small across the U.S. have been limited to those that maintain a safe social distance. Luckily, residents of Greensboro, North Carolina have a nearly complete, art-filled greenway to enjoy as the state’s shelter-in-place order took effect on Monday, March 30. Not only has the Downtown Greenway become a timely recreational asset for the city, it has also proven to already be an economic driver for the city’s core, bringing with it $502.5 million in completed and planned investment.
