Downtown Greensboro has already come a long way since the emergence of 3 office towers more than a decade ago. During the 1990s, the center-city saw the development of a cultural arts center, new main library and a children's museum. Today the momentum for downtown revitalization is building. Within just a few short years several night clubs, a comedy club, ballroom and restaurants have emerged within the downtown landscape. Another attraction called Triad Stage opened a few years ago. This 300 seat regional drama theater has been a huge success since its opening and has attracted people from all over the Piedmont Triad. Condominiums and neo-traditional townhomes are also emerging throughout downtown and this is only the begining. As Greensboro approaches a quarter of a million people, the goal is to create a more urban character for the city. Retaining and attracting young professionals is important to the city's future.

This park will celebrate Greensboro's struggle for freedom. It will be a central gathering place for all kinds of events and will offer free remote internet access for those who have laptop computers.

This performing arts center will have approximately 1,700 seats and will host Greensboro Opera and Symphony productions. The proposal includes an office tower.

The Civil Rights Museum will celebrate the accomplishments of four African-American North Carolina A&T State Universty students who started a nationwide lunch counter sitin movement in 1960. The event took place at the Woolworth store in downtown Greensboro. The store is being converted into the museum.
